    Some article I found on espn's boxing section...

    Showtime's Dec. 1 card has not been set yet, but there have been discussions about welterweight titlist Kermit Cintron headlining if he successfully defends his title Sept. 8 against Jesse Feliciano. According to Top Rank, it has been contacted about the availability of two of its boxers as possible opponents for Cintron: ex-titlist Antonio Margarito (who handed Cintron his only defeat) and top contender Joshua Clottey. Junior welterweight titlist Paulie Malignaggi could appear in the co-feature, promoter Lou DiBella told ESPN.com. DiBella said Showtime has backed off its suggestion that Malignaggi face a Gary Shaw-promoted boxer and is open to Malignaggi facing mandatory challenger Herman Ngoudjo or Francisco "Panchito" Bojado (if he defeats Steve Forbes on Sept. 15).

    Cintron vs. Margarito II or Cintron vs. Clottey?
    Malignaggi vs. Ngoudjo or Malignaggi vs. Bojado?

    I would love to see either one of those Cintron fights. Both have the makings of being very good. And now that Cintron has Manny in his corner - it will only make him that much better.

    Malignaggi and Bojado could also be a good fight. They both bring speed - but Bojado hits harder. It would be a good boxing match until Malignaggi gets caught a couple of time. However - if Bojado can't get pass Forbes - this fight will never happen anyway.
