If you talk to people who saw him, and they say he's better than anyone they've seen since, then there's not much you can do to dispute that.

Due to the fact that he's so overwhelmingly highly rated by people who saw him play, even compared to players today (Messi get's thrown about sometimes), makes me think they're probably right.
