    Yes. I'm serious.


    He has had his questionable moments. But all in all, he is a really good fighter. And I think he is just too big and powerful for Cotto, along with the fact that he is pretty skilled. Enough to get Miguel outta there.

    I know it seems like I'm hating, but just think about it for a minute.


    Cotto doesn't have 1-punch power, and Cintron does. And he is really an underrated fighter. That reach is a pretty significant factor considering Kermit is probably similar to Cotto in the speed department.


    I just don;t see where Cotto is so much of a beast to wear him down.

    Cintron KO. Cotto is not a light-middleweight.

    The two guys Cotto lost to were first of all warriors with heart. Secondly, Margarito had the fantastic punch resistance and stamina to take Cotto's bombs and keep throwing, while Pac had the fast hands and timing to punish Cotto mid-combination.

    Cintron has neither heart nor any other great intangible. He has good power, but I think Cotto could take the odd power shot from Cintron as it would be nothing like Pac's lighting-fast shots.

    However, we all know that Cintron lacks heart, and that is the sort of things Cotto feeds on. Cotto would simply take away the frog's body and in turn his heart.

    Cintron is capable of beating Cotto, but I think Cotto will get to him mentally before it's over and maybe stop him.

    Cotto loses to an ATG and a cheater and suddenly gets very underrated, considering what he's capable of.

    Sooooo..... Who has Cintron lost to???

    Wasn't it the same "cheater"??? How does Cotto get a free pass for it but not Cintron. Cintron also "lost" to a guy who is better than Cotto in every way (Sergio) and a guy who Cotto's entire "company" is scared to utter his name in the same sentence with him (PW).

    I think at 154 Kermit is a much better fighter than people give him credit for.


    Enough of the "mentally weak" stuff. Cotto doesn't exactly bully his way through a fight when the going gets rough.

    I don't consider Sergio as better than Cotto, not even close in a p4p sense. It's not exactly who Kermit's lost to, it's how he lost. You often get the impression from him that he'd rather be somewhere else than in the ring and he takes opportunities to slow down or outright stop the action if it's not going his way. Cotto will just keep fighting until he can't fight anymore.

    That's it. Cintron's fine unless hes taking any kind of punishment. He's shown it time and time again. NBA may think Cotto is overrated, but he is really stretching with this thread. Kind of like his "Clottey will smash Pacquiao" threads :patsch.

    Sergio is not better than Cotto???????:rofl:rofl:rofl In a p4p Sense???:patsch


    He went up in a weight class clearly above his ideal weight and dethroned a Champion in only his second fight at that weight. At the ripe old age of 35.


    When Cotto accomplishes anything close to that, I will be the first to give him credit. Well, honestly, maybe not. :D

    Pavlik was never all that, and now he's not even what he was. Sergio's a good fighter, don't get me wrong, but if they were the same weight Cotto would stop his ass impressively and emphatically. He's just a better fighter.

    Aiken is smoking that good ****. Cintron is a certified *****. Cotto is a proven warrior. Cintron has pop. So does cotto not one punch but above average. Cintron has reach. Check. Cotto has faster hands ask mosely. Cotto has heart. Cintron has leaping ability. And if you really wanna break it down to the smallest of variables. Cotto is a more skilled fighter with a wider variety of punches in his tool box. Cintron has punchers chance and that's it. Cotto 9tko

    Like i've said before... Cotto was never a beast in his prime. But I don;t want to even go that route, because this thread isn't about rehashing all of his gift decisions and low blows. I don't wanna turn this into a Cotto-hate thread, as you all know I am completely capable of doing. I'm not 'Jacory Harris' by any stretch, - I don't personally hate the guy.

    I just think at 154, Kermit would be too much for him to the point that it would never really get all that rough for him in there. I don't think Cotto has the ability to apply the pressure necessary to make Cintron back down. And he isn't going to 1-punch starch him either.

    Seriously guys, Cintron isn't a weak-ass ***** like everyone wants to generalize him.
