You should watch more of his fights and then make up your mind. He had the quick powerful combinations that had dismantled some of his opponents in beautiful fashion. He also fought tough and strong fighters, consider Machen, Ingomar, Bonevena, Chuvalo, no push overs. He paid his dues. I think he was legitamate champion, and not a terrible one in the least.
Now take some guys like Shannon Briggs, Saltan, and a lot of the guys mentioned who's been spinning the alphabet roulette wheel and you have just another fighter with a belt.
