Personally...I view Manny about like you view Baldo = OVERRATTED!!!

If a fighter has it...he's got it...a trainer only polishes off the talent.

Losing to Margarito was just an explanation point on the problems. He concentrates on power & when that fails...he bails.

I aint big on Margarito...so that pretty much closes the book on Cintron for me.

...and NO Margarito won't beat Floyd if they ever fight.
I basically agree with you about a fighters trainer, however I think it's different when a fighter has had one trainer from a young age and for his entire career.. It's when you get these fighters suddenly switching to a big name trainer, and people expect them to be so much better by next month.. No trainer can make a fighter more than he's capable of or willing to do.. Your dead on in that sense, but I wouldn't call Emanuel overrated as he has trained many champions from a young age and the amatuers.
