    I don't know... it may have been a combination of several factors. One I would have to mention is that his career coincided very much with Trinidad's. Trinidad's shadow probably didn't do Daniel much good. Also, there was this general perception that Daniel had other interests, and didn't give boxing the priority it deserved. That one is probably pretty unfair and maybe inaccurate, IMO. Finally, Daniel got in with some lousy promoters who mismanaged at least part of his career. It is thought that Daniel, with better promoting, could've gone even further. Still, he had a pretty good career, and was a very difficult opponent for many. He's one of Puerto Rico's past boxing champions, so it's not all bad in the public's eye.

    Remember Santos beating Takaloo and holding the wbo title for ages. He beat some good fighters.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    One of Cintron's brightest moments. For all he accomplished, it always seems he could've gone a lot further. He had amazing natural, physical gifts.
