He's going to be likely retired in '17, but it is what it is. Most recognize that his talent is amazing, but what will keep him from being compared to other greats will be his short career. I think the quality of his competition has been debatable, but he is no doubt a major freak.

gotta love the 'who he beat' crowd, I get a kick out of people who rate horse A's talent by the talent of horse B rather than just rating the inherent talent of horse A in the first place.
The who he beat crowd is essentially saying ' I'm not able to rate the talent of horse A as an individual, but instead I'm going to rate horse Bs talent and make an inference as to the talent of horse A by what I think of horse B. '
If a handicapper can accurately rate horse B (and C, D, etc.) why not just skip the middle man and rate horse A on his own?
