So what if its Mayweather vs Cintron???

[skel1983]

How is this as good a fight as Pac/Clottey? I get the Manny anger but come on, anybody think Cintron beats Clottey? Anyone? I get that styles make fights but when has Cintron looked as good as Clottey ever? Clottey's a bit of a dumb shit but he's a better fighter than Cintron.

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.

Id have the house on Clottey beating Cintron.

agreed , Clottey beats Cintron quite easy. Unless you have to knock Cintron out twice to beat him btw, who said that Clottey is very slow? His hand speed is underated imo

[HattonTheHammer]

would rather watch paint dry than this shit

cintron isnt even worthy to clean the likes of marquez, malignaggi, clottey etc boots

It`ll be very short and very sweet, neither fighter will come out with an ounce of respect for it. This wouldnt of happened 10-15 years back, this is why boxing is in the dolldrums right now!!

There are a lot worse fights being mentioned at the minute for Mayweather, Matthew Hatton is one of them. That would be a totally overmatched disgrace.

This fight if it were to happen is still a lot better than Matt Hatton, Nate Campbell, or Paulie "feather fisted" Maglinaggi.

Cintron is a good fighter, not elite but good enough. Same thing with Clottey.

I absolutely agree with you entirely. Pac/Clottey and PBF/Cintron are good enough fights. At least the best of the welterweights would finally be fighting each other and clearing out this mess. Maybe Williams/Collazo next.

^Example A. If Pac had decided to fight Cintron, you'd be calling him a 'a quick and dangerous puncher, who's far too big'. Since it's Floyd who's looking at it, people are claiming that lightweights could beat him. Personally, I think the only fights that make more sense than Cintron are; PW (if he can even still make 147) and the winner of Mosley/Berto, the latter of which won't be ready to fight by early March. Cintron is a big, solid fighter with respectable power and good all-around athleticism. I don't think he'll be the one to beat Floyd but he definitely has the tools to give him some problems. A good challenge.

I wasn't saying Cintron is a better fighter than Clottey. I was answering that Cintron is a better fight than Clottey. Their fight would be too tough to decipher the victor for any house to be on the line. To me, they are both B to B+ welterweights.

And in the argument over who's better, it's a pretty fair comparison. Clottey is the tight defensive fighter while Cintron is the aggressive machine. This makes sense as Manny will pressure Clottey and Floyd will be pressured by Cintron. Styles make fights and these styles seem to fit together nicely. I'm so excited about these fights that I almost forgot about MW vs Pac
