The guys you mention as tough opposition for Roche, were exactly the same guys Kodes had to play during his prime, while Borg,Connors,Vilas came a bit after his prime.

except Kodes didn't win against Laver/Rosewall in any of the major events ...
He had a major losing H2H vs newk and had a losing H2H vs smith as well ...
Kodes had a total of 8 titles ....just goes to show he wasn't that good at all .... just that he got lucky, extremely lucky in those majors that he won ... Hes at par with a one-slam winner and history ranks him correctly that way ......
