I'm hearing rumors of Canelo vs. Cintron...bad move

[marbleheadmaui]

15 Rounder - I couldn't agree more. It's too soon for Cintron.

Cintron is too live and too big a puncher to put in with Canelo now. If Jose Cotto can wobble him, Cintron will knock him out. I would be very impressed with his team if they actually put him in with Canelo.

But isn't Canelo supposed to be a champ and earning big bucks on TV. What can be too soon? It's like JCC Jr, a massive hoax to string people along on the way up and yet still claim to be a champion. These people need to fight people who can beat them. That is the challenge.

Canelo is no more a champ than you or I. He's just got a strap. The kid is still a prospect. A popular one, but a prospect nonetheless.

He's more of a champ than you to be fair. He has a strap, and also a boxing license. You have a Saddo account and maybe a subscription with HBO?

See the difference?

MAYBE a subscription to HBO? MAYBE? Sir, I'll have you know I overpay for both Showtime and HBO!

Harumph!

My apologies, seems I under estimated you!

As a welterweight Cintron power on a 1 to 10 scale was a 9. At 154 it's like a 6. He's no killer as a Junior Middleweight. I see no reason Alvarez can't beat him. Aside from the Williams fight in which he fucked up on his attempt at a Swanson bomb, Cintron has fought one scrub (doesn't count) and Martinez and Angulo. The Martinez fight was no draw. Cintron lost the fight. He beat Angulo. But it's obvious Angulo wasn't at 100%. Cintron was able to box him cuz even at 100% Angulo is pretty fucking slow. That game plan wouldn't work against Alvarez. I think Alvarez would put a beating on him. Forcing him to quit. The Cotto fight is something people will try and use against Alvarez chin. But it doesn't hold to much sense. Alvarez was struggling to make weight. That affected him. If I remember correctly they actually had to settle for making 150 cuz he was draining himself to much. His ability to take a punch is better now that he doesn't have to struggle with weight

I like Cintron well enough, but do you ever notice how he usually comes out on the short end of the stick in title fights? Based on this, i'd have to see Cintron defeating Canelo to believe it, because with Cintron you never know WTF you might get.

If Canelo-Cintron does get made, i'd have to go with Cinnamon boy, Kermit doesn't like it to the body and that might be the difference in the fight.
