What else would he have to do to be great?
He has had excellent career no doubt, at or near the top of his divsions for 12 years...

Only World Champion once, when he beat Naseem.

But that is because of boxing politics and that in itself does not disqualify him from being Great IMO.

The one primary quality he does lack is redemption, he failed to comeback and beat either Junior Jones or Manny Pacquiao.

You cannot be Great IMO without redeeming yourself sometime in your career; it is a prerequisite.
