I think he's overrated in terms of skill... He threw combinations well, and was extremely athletic(probably the closest to Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr. we've seen), but he didn't have the relaxness in the ring or the ring savy in seemed to necessary for him to be considered great. He had a hard time with Vernon Forrest who IMO he should have beaten rather easily, but he couldn't adapt as the very best fighters could (Whitaker, Ali, PBF, Holyfield, Leonard).
