Cintron is a ***** with a huge punch, I don't want to see Cotto fight this one, I want to see Cotto do his best Mayweather for awhile . Then one final big fight, and get out of there with all of his senses intact.
Cintron fights @ a solid 170 pounds and has KO power in that right hand. Despite his limitations and shameful display against Martinez, he would be a dangerous fight for Cotto. I still think Cotto could win by going to the body, but his body punching is not nearly as feared as it used to be. 60-40 Cintron @ 154, 70-30 Cotto at 147. Cintron would really struggle making 147.
I can't even imagine dehydrating from 170 to 147. And to think Clottey seems to do this with no problem. I don't know how he does it. I heard he was 175 coming into one fight. I think Lampley was talking about it during the Cotto ring entrance.
Old cotto i would have said he would have won quite easy, I think his old style body attack and boxer punching style would dismantle Cintron around round 7 and 8, Now days i think its a tough test that i am still leaning towards cotto but i believe it is a very dangerous fight for him.... especially if its at 154. I lean towards cotto but wouldnt be suprised with a cintron victory out of the blue. I would be hoping for Cotto to make Cintron crawl again though
Cotto would have to make this a catchweight fight or fight Citron at 147. Someone already said it, Citron is a middleweight on fight night. Way too dangerous for Cotto at this point. He doesn't need to take another beating. 150 or lower and Cotto makes Citron look like a chump.
Regardless of what happens in the fight, I think this is a great matchup. Fireworks for sure and somebody's gonna hit the canvas.
