One has to be careful when saying this and that fighter is a legend, that's a big word.
Jacobs was one of the best middleweights in the world, but not a legend. Anyway, I'm just being particular with words I guess.
No you are on point because I was thinking the same, to be a legend you have to beat other champions that were good champions in fact those who made a few defenses and wasn't a one trick pony beating Peter Quillin & Sergio Mora don't cut it! Although they did rob him with John Ryder.

You're right , Legend is a big word, and it gets thrown around way too casually these days , as do the words GREAT and HERO.
A guy beats a dude that's 8 -15- 3.....then says in the interview, "I'm glad that I was able to knock him out , he's a great fighter"..... I totally understand having respect for your opponent , being a gentleman , etc. But people get way out there with this stuff. I'm glad that you brought it up.
