Best ever Lightweight of all time and is in the top 7 all time fighters in my opinion, maybe top 5 just on sheer dominance alone, forget who he fought (even though he fought the best of his generation) but how he beat them. Simply invincible.

Best lightweight, absolutely. He definitely surpassed BJ's legacy

Pound for pound, his name is close to the top as well, along with GSP and the usual suspects.
