    to a certain extent,he's a damn good boxer but when you hear things like he is the greatest or top 5 atg...overrated

    His resume at WW leaves a lot to be desired

    Definately great fighter though top 50 atg

    Yes he is. He should have been destroyed by Ledwaba, Barerra, Marquez, Morales, Dela Hoya, Hatton, Cotto, Maragrito, and Mosley. PAC is overrated.

    Yes and no

    He is overrated by some but then the very knowledge of this leads people to underrate him

    Everyone is overrated by someone

    What is definitely underrated is his heart, one of the biggest warriors in the game, overrated skillwise or not

    Great brawler, comes forward constantly, agressive, and a nightmare to fight for stationary fighters as they cant keep up with his relentlessness. Also can take as much punishment as he gives, has incredible speed and very decent power.

    But has bad fundamentals, horrible footwork, the downside to his relentlessness is that he throws alot of amateurish punches.. Also is the product of great matchmaking and even better marketing. Not the best boxer of the decade by a distance, also is the product of way too much hype.

    Only his Welterweight campaign is overrated. Everything before that was pretty damn phenominal. :yep

    His offensive capabilities are overrated. emmanuel's one main form of offense is great if he can get it going, but he lacks certain offensive skillsets. He can't cut off a ring or fight inside.

    People see how quickly emmanuel can **** someone up if he's allowed to use his main form of offense then mistake him for a "can do it all" offensive fighter. The truth is his offense isn't even complete.

    No. It's just that he brings the shittiest fan in boxing history and he's an obvious drug user. Oh and by the way, Manny's been seen around Vegas shitfaced and crappin out on the crap tables... hahahaha. There's your religious politician. About as religious as the rest of them. he should hook up with Mayweather and learn how to gamble.
