    If Hatton ever decides to fight at 147 again, do you guys think he has a chance against Cintron?

    Nope - Cintron is a pretty big puncher. I don't think Hatton would survive.

    I actually think he could beat Cintron. Feliciano applied alot of pressure on Cintron, and he had his moments. Like Feliciano, Hatton is a natural 140 lb.'er, but has more power than Feliciano.

    Highly doubtfull. Cintron has big time power and Ricky gets hit way too much,.

    Floyd was probably too strong for Hatton.... Cintron KO in the mid rounds. Hatton is a much better fighter but its been proven (to me) that welterweight is too big for him

    WW is a step too high for the hitman, and Cintron has power to burn, he might be pretty average in most departments, but when it comes to the equaliser, he has it in abundance, so I would be worried about Rickys chances, WW is too high for him, end of

    Did you even read my post? Cintron recently had trouble with a 140 lb. fighter who pressured him all night and isn't as good or strong as Hatton.

    You may have a point but does Hatton have the chin to take Cintron's shots?

    Hatton is a great guy and a very very good 140lb champ but even if he wins against Cintron it may not be worth it for his health.

    I think Hatton would beat him simply because Cintron has no heart and can't take pressure at all. Just look at that journey man feliciano that gave Cintron all he can handle

    The Cintron that fought Feliciano would lose. Feliciano was basically a bad version of Hatton and he gave Cintron all kinds of hell.

    Agreed, but oddly enough, Feliciano may have better whiskers at 147 than Hatton (at least he sure did for one night.) Floyd is tremendously accurate, but I've got my doubts that he is a truly devastating puncher at 147. Cintron, for all his frailities, is.

    Cintron KO 3.

    FYI, floyd mayweathers camp told Manny steward that cintron was in for a hell of a fight with feliciano. Feliciano is the guy floyd uses when he wants a pressure fighter who wont give up. most fighters would have been down in round 1 with what cintron landed. that fight had more to do with felicianos chin and pure will than with cintrons fighting.

    Cintron is too strong for Hatton.
