    Not one of the best 10 HW's ever IMO in terms of ability or winning IMO.

    Definitely a great in terms of his career, who he fought, how long he fought for etc. And how he fought.

    IMO he gets a pass over his performances because of simply how entertaining he was, and how much of a warrior he was.
