    Would rather not go in against Cintron unless its for the title!!
    Let's be realistic, he's huge,rangy and is a world class puncher. He is a little suspect in the heart department, if you can tuck up and ride the storm, then give it back..but he's genuine world class.
    Martinez is beatable, and dont' forget he has a lot of miles on the clock, i'd be pretty confident going into that one.
    Chavez, i feel we'd do a number on.

    He has a chance against Chavez but I can't see him beating Cintron or martinez.

    This. Style wise Cintron is a level above, and Martinez is too consistent in his attack.

    He'd probably have to stop Chavez to get the decision (and he might well do).

    to be honest dave i think cintron is a very winnable fight, he was a welterweight for years was ibf world champion at the weight,so if anything ryan would be the bigger fighter as ryan has boxed for a world title at middleweight. For me chavez is the one to watch he is hungry unbeaten and massive for lighmiddle weight, had his last fight at middle winning by knockout, and is a much better fighter than he gets credit for he has a big heart, good chin and can punch. Also there are rumors going round that martinez is going up to middle to fight williams then if he wins he will fight pavlik, also him and williams might now be for the vacant middleweight title, as due to injuries pavlik could be vacting. So it could be rhodes vs chavez for the vacant title at the mexican bull ring:good

    chavez jnr is wank! but Ryan still gets hit a lot and has that awful style without the neccessary attributes to make it work most of the time, so who knows. I think this fight would be somewhat similar to what we saw on friday and could go either way. Martinez and Cintron both outclass and stop him, sadly they're on a different level to Ryan imo, especially Martinez. Cintron might not be everyone's cup of tea, but the guy can box, has alotta pop behind his punches, has very good skills when he uses them and one could question those two Margarito defeats.

    Cintron would knock Ryan out cold I'm afraid. There is that question mark about heart I suppose from the Margarito fights, but Rhodes doesn't have a chin like that and would go to sleep if he let himself get hit like he did against Moore the other night. On that basis he would have to fight at distance and I don't think he's better in that department than Cintron either...

    Martinez would be closer and I believe Chavez jnr is a very winnable fight...

    Martinez beat Cintron, whatever the cards said at the end. Cintron should have been stopped - he was knocked out after all.

    Cintron's decent, but can be outboxed by lesser opponents. Ryan would have to be elusive from the first till the last and fight a perfect fight. But I can see him getting clipped mid-rounds and getting stopped.

    The only one that Ryan beats clearly is Chavez Jr.

    :?

    Martinez arguably beats him more decisively than either of the other two. Not a big fan of Sergio I take it?
