    Margarito was a horrible styles matchup for Cintron.

    He's tough as ****, big, throws alot of punches, hits HARD, and has a good chin. He's highly underrated right now after the loss (which was close as ****) to Williams, who himself is a terrible matchup for Margarito.

    Margarito would be at least 50/50 against Cotto. Cotto would have to fight passively on the backfoot, and I don't think he can survive doing that. That 50% chance that Margarito wins is the 50% chance that he utterly brutalizes Cotto and ends his career, too - if Margarito does beat Cotto, it will be in the most convincing of fashions.

    The Kermit Cintron of today, is not the same guy that broke down against Margo….no discredit to Margo…he broke that guy up…but it was not all Margo..up to this point I know that Kermit’s mind was on someplace else…and he might had sometime of personal issues…getting cut for the first time…getting hurt for the first time…huge stage…he just didn’t have the tools to handle the adversity at that time…I strongly believe that Emanuel has change all that and it is clear on his boxing style and improved skills that Kermit bought into Emanuels philosophy….Now, a hard puncher always a hard puncher…add to that his improve jab, understanding of distance and improved arsenal, and that makes Kermit a dangerous proposition against anyone, including Cotto….now I hope that Kermit defeat PW in impressive fashion and leaving no doubt what so ever….rematch against Margo and this time box Margo soften him around the ribs and get the W…..and move to 154…..
