But right now, I think all talk of legacy for current fighters is out of order.
I hear ya...and to some extent I agree. Having said that Manny Pacquiao can never stop being the first man to win four lineal crowns (for example).

I think when a fighter gets near the end, one can make some qualified, but still incomplete, asessments.

For a complete review not only does the fighter have to be retired, but all of his significant foes need to be retired as well.
