I'm hearing rumors of Canelo vs. Cintron...bad move

[15rounder]

I like Canelo. He's got big time superstar potential. It looks like he's going to end up being a hybrid of De la Hoya/Cotto. (Mechanics of delahoya, power of cotto). But Ive read some various boxing sites about his next potential opponent. I hear names like Mayorga, Cotto etc...but one name that came up was Kermit Cintron. I think this is nuts at this stage. I'm sure plenty will disagree with me but I don't see Canelo winning this fight...yet. Cintron is big and packs a hell of a punch. He isn't going to be baited like other fighters into coming forward if he doesn't want to. Plus Canelo getting hit with a Cintron punch is going to feel like getting hit by a bag of bricks compared to his other opponents. I like Mayorga (for Canelo, not for the fans). Cintron should come 3-4 fights later. And when it's time to fight (and beat) Chavez jr., please don't make it a mayweather/pacman situation.

I like this fight so I hope it happens. He'll probably fight Mayorga though.

Good the fraud needs to fight a real opponent and I want to see him found out. I will be cheering for Cintron and think he has a real chance of taking this.

15 Rounder - I couldn't agree more. It's too soon for Cintron.

Cintron is too live and too big a puncher to put in with Canelo now. If Jose Cotto can wobble him, Cintron will knock him out. I would be very impressed with his team if they actually put him in with Canelo.

Heck on his night Cintron is a beast and I don't even want Cotto to fight him....


HOWEVER!

Cintron is a mentally weak fighter, he makes plenty of mistakes, and I've never seen his power from the left. Sure Cintron's right cross is powerful, but roll and uppercut a few times and he's done for. Cintron fights kind of timidly, he moves around pumping the jab and looking for a window where he can fit that right cross in.

Canelo is good, he's young, and Cintron ain't the type of guy to ruin a fighter...I say no pain no gain, go get 'em you ginger Mexican!
