Well, originally, my thought was ... "is ability all there is to greatness?"

Is beating 3 mediocre Champions, where you're never really behind, a "greater accomplishment" than beating ONE devastating Champion, suffering incredible punishment, taking it all, and coming from WAY BACK to win on a huge HEART + Ability?

Beating 3 Champions can mean a dog only has great ability, but yet never had to show HEART.

Doesn't true greatness imply HEART also?

Isn't the display of awesome heart the distinction between a front-runner and a legend?

Maybe the idea of a second title, for gameness, is the best way to go ... but my original thought was, "Okay X dog may not have won 6x, but he did display a level of gameness that the 6xW Y never showed ..."

Is true greatness only about # of wins?
