Clottey v. Cintron

[Rantcatrat]

It appears this fight may occur in the early part of next year.

Who do you think will win?

Great match-up. Clottey will again show why his name should be mentioned when talking about future opponents for any of the current elite fighters. Cintron tends to crack against guys who can take his power and chins don't get any harder than Clottey's. Joshua has enough pop to make Cintron quit on his feet and being the faster fighter he can make Kermit look 2 steps behind.

I was hoping to see a Clottey vs. Berto fight but this ones looking pretty good also. I'm thinking Clottey takes this by UD or by late TKO.

It's a battle of Margarito victims.

Is Clottey faster than Cintron? He may be.

Cintron has height and reach advantage ( via Box Rec: 5'11 v. 5'8 and 74" v. 70").

Cintron packs a bigger punch than Clottey. Has Clottey ever fought someone with as big of a punch?

Why was Clottey dq'd in his fight against Baldomir?

I'm starting to think that Cintron's power is a bit overrated. No doubt he has very good power, but he's yet to prove that he is devastating puncher he's made out to be IMO.

Anyways, he'll be the hardest puncher Clottey has faced, but Clottey has exceptional defense, so I don't think Cintron will land with great regularity. Clottey also has a very good chin.

Headbutting I believe, I've never seen the fight.

Clottey by UD over Cintron.

I heard it was very low blows, but that Clottey had only been warned like once. I also heard Clottey was ahead on all score cards.

Here's an article on Clottey - Baldomir. It was a low-blow. Kind of a shitty article, but it's the only one I found in a quick search.

Clottey is who I would bet on...That guy is one of the most underrated fighters in the sport....His only real downside is speed and hand problems other then that he is the complete package.....

Good Power
Great Chin
Great Defensive Shell
Good Jab

I like the guy a lot...Funny fellow as well.....

I did an interview with him oveer the phone once...he asked me to call him at home around 8...so I call him he keeps telling me to hold on....Finally we start interviewing....He is making noises like...DOH...OWW...Dat...

So I am like WTF

Finally I ask him if everything is OK just to see what the reply was...he answers back

"I am OK sorry about that..I hurt my back today and figured I would take a bath to relax and when you called I was just getting into the tub...And the Water is too damn hot!!"

He definitely is a good fighter, I just don't see his power or style being one to break Cintron's spirits. I don't think Cintron gets enough respect, especially considering what Margarito did to Cotto, I mean Cintron stood right in front of Margarito, and was fighting hard until Margarito wrecked him with the hardest body shot I've seen Margarito throw.
