I have no problem with a guy taking on a soft touch after a loss, especially a knockout loss. Good way to get a confidence booster. But I will be VERY disappointed if Cotto fights Cintron next. I know Arum picks his opponents, but I hope his team will reject a fight with a guy who has done absolutely nothing to deserve it. Kermit has look awful in his last three fights. Worse, he was not even entertaining in his last two. The only reason Arum is considering him is because he is Puerto Rican like Cotto. Clottey deserves to fight more if it isn't going to be Mosley, and he is in Arum's stable to boot. If I were Clottey, I'd be pissed off if Arum gave the payday to a fighter not even in his stable.
It was the correct type of fight for Cotto to take definitely. Now that's out the way I would expect a big fight follow up. Probably against Mosley. As good as Mosley was against Margarito, I still think a Cotto fight swings either way.
Cintron doesn't deserve a shot unless he can put together a string of decent wins. He has looked really poor. I wouldn't mind seeing the Clottey fight either.
Nobody outside of margarito (in question) reguardless of country has not had much to offer cotto, jennings shouldn't feel all that bad i know of some others...cough cough sergio mora, bj flores, layla ali, who refused to take the chance at all. One accidental lucky punch and this would be a whole different conversation. Jennings got smoked..it was expected rebuild and make yourself a better fighter.
