We just have different views of what elite is.Okami was certainly elite back in the day, at least as much as Brunson or Kennedy who gave him tough fights and make him out of 1st round. Or Tavares.
No bigs.
Okami got as far as being ranked in top 5 of a thin division ( at time)..... and not for any lengthy period of time.
You referenced D.Brunson ( I'm only going by how u used his name ) as being " elite " off the branch of Okami " certainly elite back in the day ".
* If you're going to call these guys elite then you and I have a rather huge gap in the meaning of elite . Going by that , then there is an awful lot of elite and ex elite fighters out there. To be considered an elite fighter is an honor in my book and must maintain upper crust status for quite a period of time. I dont/didnt consider Kennedy " elite" either.
