    :good

    I'm just hoping he gets to be an odds favorite vs a semi live fighter= $$$$$$$ in the pocket:yep Say maybe Clottey vs Collazo??? Something a long those lines.

    Estrada took 3 rounds from Mosely, pushed Cintron very hard and has KOed some decent fringe contender level fighters and is very relentless.

    Clottey had trouble with his last tomato can, he broke his hand and gassed in the 3rd. That particular can was taken out in a round by Chop Chop Corley, Estrada is a tough son of a ***** who's about to KO Andre Berto.

    Yet he 'cannot' defeat Clottey by a decision?

    :rofl

    Cintron will lose the belt. But you don't even have the styles correct here. Cintron right hand down the guard at will, then Clottey is sparked. Fighting in spurts and being feather fisted aren't going to help you against a powerful boxer-puncher who can stay long.

    Which lack sufficient power to KO a Welterweight, in which he will then bust his hands and gas and get KOed from straight right's.

    And you don't need heart to beat a C+ level never was.

    Which is not the current version of Cintron under Steward. Likewise with styles, Clottey's works well against sloppy swarmers, until he gasses or breaks his hands that is.:yep

    Estrada is not a nobody. Clottey struggles with an even lesser level than Estrada.

    Then of course sparking Matthysse in 2, a guy who troubled Williams, the guy who beat crappy Margarito...

    Amsterdam: i dont think clottey is feather fisted at all. Remeber how busted up diego was (and i know chico was moving up two weight classes, but he broke his jaw for chrsits sake!). If you can cause damage like breaking jaws against pro boxers you got power sorry. I know you like to get technical about things so i will cite some examples:

    edison miranda broke aurthur abrahams jaw - edison is a known puncher
    joe frazier broke muhammed ali's jaw - frazier is a known puncher
    antonio tarver broke eric hardings jaw (2nd fight) - antonio is a know puncher

    it takes some power to break a jaw and if you have examples of a feather fisted puncher doing so i would like to see so.
