Anderson Silva will undoubtedly have legendary status but he will always have his detractors due to the reasons you listed. |
Every great fighter has their share of detractors for most of the reasons you listed. It's a pointless effort worrying about what others think of you.
He is good where he is just like Fedor was good at hw despite both of them fighting a mixture of so-so/top talents.
