The myth of Kermit "the Killer" Cintron...is it real?

[bigragu]

I would like to see a rematch with Margarito, especially if Kermit is focused and prepared this time around with a healed hand..I think his height and power gives anyone trouble at Welterweight, I think the kid has a bright future and is taking steps to rebound nicely after the Margarito setback I think if Tony beats Clottey and Citron beats a good fighter in his next match, like a Williams then a match with Margarito must be made, then the winner can step up to Floyd pending on what happens this weekend and the supposed bout with Oscar

didn't know he fought that fight with a bad hand....that changes everything....a rematch would be very interesting.....

I'd like to see Cintron-Williams. Paul's the hot prospect but he does leave that chin hanging up in the air, and Cintron can punch.

Just happy its not Cintron-Gatti

That would be a great undercard for Feb PPV

The bad hand excuse was just damage control. He got his ass kicked plain and simple. And by an overrated fighter like Margarito. Since than he's struggled against Estrada and took shots against Suarez. He's a "champion" only cuz his title was stupidly stripped from Baldomir and than vacated by Mayweather. I'm not sold Cintron at all.

I voted i still aint sure about him. Because while he obviously has some skill he just seems to flop in the big chances he gets. I hope he turns it around becuase he seems like an alright kid.

Pretty much agree with ya on that.

I aint too sure about the guy meself...but he is fun to watch. I rate him as a step up from Gatti...just with less losses.

Damn...that was cold.

I thikn with Manny Steward,he can go far. Peeps just discredit him because he Margarito beat on him badly but I don't see anyone else making him look that bad.

Personally...I view Manny about like you view Baldo = OVERRATTED!!!

If a fighter has it...he's got it...a trainer only polishes off the talent.

Losing to Margarito was just an explanation point on the problems. He concentrates on power & when that fails...he bails.

I aint big on Margarito...so that pretty much closes the book on Cintron for me.

...and NO Margarito won't beat Floyd if they ever fight.

Agreed in full. Just before the fight...all talk was on how easily Margarito would be taken down...lose the fight & out comes the hand excuse. Had he had a history of brittle hands...I might have bought that shit...but come the fwock on...say you lost & be done with it.

I basically agree with you about a fighters trainer, however I think it's different when a fighter has had one trainer from a young age and for his entire career.. It's when you get these fighters suddenly switching to a big name trainer, and people expect them to be so much better by next month.. No trainer can make a fighter more than he's capable of or willing to do.. Your dead on in that sense, but I wouldn't call Emanuel overrated as he has trained many champions from a young age and the amatuers.

I'm struggling to stop smirking every time someone says his first name. A fighter called Kermit, you cannot be serious (!).

I can't wait for him to meet his nemesis - Fozzie Bear Jones.

Still - just like A Boy Named Sue - I bet he had to fight like fuck all the way through his childhood?
