Santos or Alcine?

[BlackRazor]

I nearly made a thread about Santos yesterday, but rather than Alcine I was going to ask about Santos and Mayorga.

Last I heard about Santos was February when he was being lined up for a unification clash of sorts with then Interim WBC Champion Sergio Martinez. Santos decided that he needed more time, and Cintron got the nod instead. Haven't heard about Santos since.

Mayorga was supposed to fight February 14th against Angulo and really missed a big opportunity there by pulling out. Haven't heard from him since, which is really unusual.

Alcine I haven't heard about since the loss to Santos.

With Vernon Forrest inactive as well, 154 has become a real MIA division.

Yes, I heard some of the same things. In addition, I actually saw Santos was going to defend his title against Mayorga on May 30th on boxrec but Mayorga pulled out after he saw what Shane did to Margarito.

Santos vs. Mayorga would be a cracking fight. With Don King promoting them both I'm not shocked the fight was in the works. You can never be sure with boxrec though, they always jump the gun in announcing fights.

What is holding Santos back seems to be Don King. I know 154 isn't loaded with great talent like 147, but Santos should be defending his title more frequently and King should be making this happen. Santos goes long stretches of time without fighting and he seems to be willing to step in the ring. I'm tired of seeing Mayorga, but any opponent would be good for Santos right now.

You said it!

bzkfn - That's true but then I read he pulled out because after seeing what Shane did to Margarito, he thought his loss to Shane looked much more impressive - so he probably wanted more money.

Speaking of Santos, hey don't you think a Santos Vs Cintron would be a good fight in PR. Now that Cintron moved up.

imo Santos would easily beat Cintron, probably stop him as well, but i've met Daniel Santos, last time was in February and honestly he seems just happy to hold the title, meaning he has no big plans to really risk losing it

I really think Santos has the tools to be able to be one of the top two or three fighters in the LMW division if he ever gets his shit together. However, he's getting old and I think his window is closing fast.

I think he'd give Paul Williams a hell of a fight.

Yeah, based on the fact he hasn't even fought in over a year, that sure seems to be the case.
