Maybe his legacy is as the best Light Welter of all time tho
Shutting out the division should grant him that if he performs.

His legacy will be shaped by his performances now rather than names (although I think the names have to be good.)
It doesn't have to be. There aren't really the big names at 140 they're up at 147 and if you want to secure your legacy it seems that nowadays you have to fight the names and that means moving up.
He's fought some big names already.
I feel cleaning out a division with some well known if not super names such as Malignaggi and witter (if done in an impressive fashion) would be enough.
If he beats Witter and Paulie he will have done a lot, but after that, if he wants to challenge himself he should probably go after a name like Cotto IMO, not every fight you take should be one where you're expected to win comfortably.

It does seem like he hopes to be undisputed in the LW division over the next year and wait for Juan to move up, but IMO that's not a fight that would secure his legacy since he will have a significant physical advantage over a fighter with a similar style to himself, he'd have more to lose than to gain from a fight like that.
