    Where does he go from here? Could any of you see....


    vs. Paul Williams

    vs. Cinnamon Alvarez

    vs. Miguel Cotto (no co-broke fight, so maybe it could happen)

    vs. Erislandy Lara

    vs. Molina (rematch)

    vs. Andre Berto (147)

    vs. No name opponent

    After Williams last fight, and Cintron's last couple of fights, this would be a matchup of once feared fighters. Cintron is at least a decent enough name if the GBP wanted to get a semi-decent name on Cinnamon resume, if he wins. I still think the Cotto fight would be a prime fight. Lara is a good fighter that maybe doesn't scare them with a KO, but would be a good scrap.

    Any thoughts?

    Looked REALLY bad in his fight last week . Once Molina has shown him he can take his punches in the first 2 rounds seemed like Cintron sort of gave up . Cant blame everything on ring rust , he seems to freeze when things don't go his way .
    Out of the 6 people listed I don't see why I should believe he can beat any of them . Molina dominated him , landing some solid punches on him and only good chin saved him there .
    I guess I would watch him fight Berto if I had to pick from the list , otherwise unknown opponent or retirement .

    Tough to say, he really blew it, that fight being his top rank debut.

    I would like to see TR give him another shot, could have just been ring rust.

    Yeah, I figured Paul Williams looked bad in his last fight too, but these guys actually bad pretty big names about a year ago, so I figure if they could make Hopkins vs. Jones Jr...why not Cintron/Williams.

    If Cinnamon is so good, and Cintron has looked, poor, maybe it wouldn't be viewed as a dangerous fight, plus we know that Arum is involved with Cintron now and he seems to love the PR/Mex clashes.

    Berto still has a great record, but not many classify him as a top of the line Grade A fighter, so I wouldn't mind seeing them scrap either.

    anyone can have a bad night, especially after a one-year layoff.

    no way gbp puts canelo in with cintron. too much money at risk and not enough reward.

    if they made the fight, i would be all over cintron at +200.

    Kermits career as a main event fighter is over. The talent was always there but the head and heart were not. Now it seems the talent is gone as well.

    I don't see him coming back from this. His history when he isn't confident shows for itself and he looked like absolute ass last week.

    Seriously compare his speed, accuracy, power, and technique as recent as the Angulo fight to that fight last week. He looked like he was fighting underwater.

    Cintron was rusty, but the thing that really bothers me about Kermit is that his reaction to body punchers and pressure. He can't handle them. He looked ready to go down and quit against Molina after taking a big body shot. He quit against Margo, he could have continued against Williams in a fight he was doing well in.
    He just doesn't have a fighters heart.

    Kermit's career has been over for a while. It sucks cuz he use to be inspiration for me in a way. I took up boxing late, and thought I would have no chance due to my age. But seeing him make it at 19 gave me hope.

    Cintron looked about 49 years old in his last fight. No clue what he did during his layoff. Lots of Heroin the way it looked. No telling where he goes from here. There was zero snap in his punches and fast twitch in his movement. He might have fallen right off the shelf.

    I heard he wasn't training seriously for this fight, he doesn't deserve opportunities if eh doesn't work for them.
