That’s fair.I dont see that as such a laughable take. It depends on how many legends you think yhe sport can host. He's obviously not in the discussion for best of all time, but he's certainly an important figure in the history of mma.
He's fought for the title 3 times, won one (interim), beaten big names/former Champs like Gaethje, Holloway, McGregor, Alvarez and Chandler.
I think he qualifies for legend status, if you use a fairly loose but still reasonable definition of the word legend.
It’s nearly been a decade since their first fight, I don’t think it’s relevant anymoreHe got pieced up and finished in the first fight, he got beat soundly in a pure boxing round until the leg kicks sunk in in the 2nd, and the third was weird cause mcgregor wasn’t fighting normally and initiated grappling
man vs boy, max on 6 weeks notice with love handles, poirier gassed and pushed max against the fence to save himself from getting finished
he is a good mma striker, dont get me wrong
but people here talk about him like he's some great boxer when all he does is blitzes throwing looping hooks
he also has old fedor levels of head hunting, cant throw a body shot to save his life

These kinds of threads always have a relative answer. A good boxer in what context? I'd say he's pretty good for MMA.

The first fight was when both were way more green, especially Dustin. Ever since he moved he really took it up a notch and became a way better fighter.
And no Dustin was catching Conor with the check hook all night in their rematch and it kept landing until Conor crumbled, it was a lot more then just the leg kicks. Dustin outboxed him.
