I think Cintron is better than Clottey. You have to admit he is absolutely much more dangerous. Overall, these two are on the same level though. Clottey just doesn't have the aggression. His peekaboo defense is too much of his makeup. And the Cotto fight co-signed what I thought the Margarito fight showed and that is Clottey has no heart when the going gets tough. Cintron beat Angulo. Cintron was very impressive in that fight and looked improved. Plus, you have to admit Cintron has the power and aggression to stop any 147 pounder.
No, I don't have to admit to any of that.
I assume by more dangerous you mean he has more power, meh its overrated but fine he does have more power. So he's got a punchers chance against guys like Floyd and Pac, when you get down to it he's got no chance. Clottey's a tough out for anybody, I could see Clottey beating Mosley and it wouldn't shock me if he beat Pacquiao. It WOULD shock me if Cintron beat any elite fighter. So I totally disagree with the idea that he's more dangerous, he might be more of a danger to land an out of nowhere punch and get a KO but Clottey is far more dangerous in that he's far more likely to just beat you.
Clottey just beat Cotto IMO (although I had it for Cotto first time I saw it) and he beat him even though he tried as hard as he could to give it away. He has no mental toughness or ambition. But he's a much better fighter than Cintron. Even his biggest liability, mental toughness, isn't a strength of Cintron's.
And no I don't have to admit he has the power and aggression to stop any 147 pounder. Really?

When has he shown this ability? Like, ever? I don't know man, I just don't see it.
He beat Angulo, good for him, I didn't pick him to win, but seriously Angulo's a fairly limited guy. People are starting to get hyped up about him again and they'll be disappointed by him again when he gets out boxed sometime in the relatively near future.
