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.
The Cintron fight was a few fights too early for Angulo, but even with his lack of experience and having the flu, he gave Cintron all he could handle. Cintron was really wilting and looked close to folding late in that fight. Was that a tear I saw in his eye? I think only the fact that the fight end was near, gave him the fortitude to finish. The heart issue is a wash, if anything, I give Clottey the nod in that department.
