Just days after Kermit Cinron was crowned IBF champion by virtue of his fifth round destruction of Mark Suarez, promoter Bobby Bostick is hard at work looking to negotiate megafights for 'The Killer.' "We are prepared and ready to fight Margarito," Bostick told Fightnews.com. "Bob Arum and I are already talking. We're prepared to fight Cotto and unify a crown with either one of those guys. We're prepared to fight Baldomir. We hope he sticks his chin out there because Kermit will retire that one. We're talking to Golden Boy tomorrow. Richard Schaefer called me today and, yeah, we'll fight Shane immediately, and after that we'll fight Oscar, too. I don't think any of these guys that I just mentioned or even Floyd Mayweather can handle Kermit Cintron's power. We're calling all of them out. We're ready to fight. Whatever comes down to the best deal because we're looking at our deals." As for the proposed fight with Arturo Gatti? "He and Kathy Duva called me going 'no way are we fighting Kermit Cintron.'"

So take the poll & gimmee your thoughts on the matter peoples.

I am not going to say this kid can't make it to the top. Hopkins, Whitaker, Norris, etc all had early career setbacks and they will all go to the HOF (Terry Norris is already in). But if he would have beat Margarito he would be in a great postion right now, not only did he lose but he go KTFO. But he has plenty of time to rebound and he has already taken a couple of steps forward, Paul Williams would be a great match for him to move back up the ladder, maybe Cotto or Zab Judah. Stay away from Margarito and Mayweather.
