Cintron needs to fight Clottey, Williams, or Margarito again, even before he deserves this shot.
He's another world champ what more does he need to do to 'deserve' his shot?
Who did he beat to become "world" champ? The guy left the ring crying in his only major test. I'm not saying it wouldn't be an interesting fight, but I'd rather see Cotto fight Williams, Margarito, or even Clottey. Once again Cintron might have to vacate so he will not even be a champion unless they can get Clottey to step aside. I just don't really see the point in this fight especially if Cintron vacates. Even when Cotto beat Quintana for the vacant strap I was happy for the guy, but at that time I didn't consider him an elite WW just yet. Bottom line titles are a dime a dozen and just because Cintron has one doesn't make him elite by any means. I was hoping Cintron got over the hump, but in the Feliciano fight it looked like he had another emotional breakdown to go along with his hand injury.
