Ok explain to me how a guy with an amateur record of 259-11, and a pro record that included 15 title defences and a unified division wasnt great? Maybe ask guys like Judah, Mitchell, Hurtado, Ruelas, Chavez and Angel Gonzalez how great he was.....
Kosta a was a good fighter, but in truth lacks the names on his resume, his best win is against Judah. Chavez and Gonzalez were old men, most of his defences were againsts nobodys and he was beat by two fighters who have been beaton more than once, I think Kosta was a good champion a great? Not for me.
The big names tended to dodge him, if a guy who is in the top 2 ever at a weight division isnt great then i dunno who is. 18 title fights in 32 fights for 2 losses, and a unified division. if that isnt knocking on the door of greatness then u cant think many guys at all are great.
