One of the BIGGEST wasted talents in boxing history :mad:

[gest12645]

i wouldn't say he has no heart. He was throwing back even when he was hurt vs Alvarez. The guy simply doesn't know how to adapt to the situation in the ring , if things aren't going his way. He has been thought to fight in one way and doesn't have a "Plan B"

I doubt that Cintron really loves to box because as his bio indicated he was a wrestler in school and he was pretty good. He regretted not pursuing the life he really wanted and becme a boxing champion which is not bad for a guy that never really intended to box. He wanted a college education and I think that it's not too late for him to get it so Alvarez might have instilled that in this fight he should really think about packing it in before he is truly hurt. The one thing that I noticed in the HBO production was that he was distracted once again.

Right, I just put it a different way, Cintron doesn't have to skills/talent/mentality needed to win at the next level, if "Plan A" fails he's pretty much fucked.

Watch his fights against Margarito, Williams and Martinez. He has no heart

That's how i saw it too.. Kermit lacks mental stability but he has some heart.. Everybody at this level does.. Heart-mental tougness are different.

A heartless young fighter isn't going to jump into a rematch with Margarito, and face Paul Williams/Martinez...

He just doesn't know how to fight out of pressure and the first margarito loss has alot to do with his lack of confidence imo... He doesn't know how to fight relaxed anymore cuz he doesnt believe in his ability as much after those losses..

I think maybe also he's been a little mis-handled. How do you let a fighter put in such a half-hearted effort for 3-4 rounds..... only to see him come back and throw huge punches with bad intentions after he's already pretty much beaten? That continues to mystify me. Had he come out that way from Round 1, we may have had a much more interesting fight. He should've had someone to whip his mindset into shape, if that's possible.
