If for some reason Manny Pacquiao were to go up in weight, and fight Kermit Cintron who do you think would win? Please vote on the poll. Thank you. Also, as a side question: How much credit would Pacquiao get for taking Kermit Cintron, and especially if Pacquiao wins? Cintron is the naturally taller and bigger boxer. Cintron also has a 32W-2L-1D record which is very good, and a win over young prospect Alfredo Angulo. Cintron would be happy to fight a big superstar like Pacquiao.
Cintron quits in the 10th and says to Ronnie Shields "You know I won that fight!" despite staying on the stool
I should say, Cintron is a bigger banger punch for punch than anyone Pac has faced. No question of that to me. So, even though he's a *****, let's be realistic here. Pac's great, but he's never fought at the weight and he's not made of titanium.
See, that's the most common mistake here on ESB... ...trying to apply common sense and logic in fights involving Manny Pacquiao. Common boxing logic doesn't apply to Pac. Some people will never learn.
I think it's fun that people get excited about him but damn, everybody hits a wall eventually if they keep challenging themselves.
To be fair, when Pac was fighting at Featherweight, nobody thought he'd be a factor at Lightweight, and look what happened. To be perfectly honest though I think 147 is the biggest Pac is going to get. I don't see him being physically able to make 154, let alone keeping his speed and reflexes at that weight. But we've been wrong before.
Manny Pacquiao has achieved the impossible, but that doesn't begin to justify the stupidity and mediocrity of Enzo.
