I think he's a little under rated. He has the least appealing style in boxing which is pure spoiler/boxer. He has great movement but of course there isn't much power. I think a lot of his criticism from having those ridiculously long and theatric ring walks, directly followed by him spoiling for 12 rounds. Also he has always been pretty inactive no more than 2 fights a year, more recently he had only one fight in '08 and one in '09.

He was the lineal welterweight champ, and pretty talented with a great jab. I think his ability gets overlooked, because he's so hard to like.
