This guys greatness is based off of one fighter - Pac. 3 close fights with Pac and a KO win make him great but if you look deeper into his resume it just seems that without Pac he'd have been nothing special - certainly not the level he's made out to be. He embarassed himself against Mayweather. Who has he beaten besides Pac? He's beat 2 HOF's in his career, one of whom was shot to ****. Mayweather and Pac both have 7,8 possibly even 9 HOF's on their resume for Pac FFS.
It's not just his resume it's his skills. He's one of the best combination punchers I've seen and an excellent thinker and counter puncher, but defensively he is mediocre, which is why he's took losses. He backs straight up and stands there on the ropes with little head movement, no clinching or no covering up. He gets away with it against most due to good counterpunching but he gets caught a lot because of it.
