Kobes Two Jerseys
8 or 24 best player of the era
It's a cycle. Divisions get hot & cold periodically. Right now, 135 is extremely cold. My fear is when he finally moves up, the guys at 140 will already be at 147. I'll admit he's good, but to be some sort of legend, which the OP is asking, you have to beat some top tier guys.
I guess we agree to disagree.
You can proclaim he is the real deal now.
I will wait once he beats a top tier fighter before I proclaim he's the real deal.
Canelo is the perfect example. He's a great talent. However, there has been some matching making there. Next fight looks to be Trout. An undefeated, legitimate 154 lber. He beats a guy like that he will look to be the real deal.
Wow. You actually understand the sport. Pretty rare. Keep up the good work.
