it could happend , cotto weighs 154 at fight time and barely makes 140 now.
so if it happends @147 who wins and why ?
cintron is bigger (he is the bigger welter ive ever seen besides james page maybe) , but he is not as skilled as cotto.
i dont know if cotto hits that hard at 147 , but cintron conditioning may cost him. plus cotto defense is way better.
i would say Cotto by late rounds TKO.
I doubt that Cintron will fight Cotto... It's like recently here in PR Daniel Santos said that he would like to fight Trinidad...Santos must be fking crazy..Tito would kill Santos...I hope someone hurry up and KTFO that drugie...
man who cares what u doubt..that wasnt the question....cotto ud's cintron
hmm
Gringo...I cannot believe you feel that way about Cotto. I know you're smarter than that. You must be a big fan.
Cotto would get knocked the fuck out by Cintron. Cotto is no Margarito. Cotto has skills, but his chin will not stand up to the power of someone like Cintron. Cintron is fucking huge at 147. Cintron has decent skills and enough power to KO Cotto ten times over. Cotto and Cintron WILL get into exchanges, and Cotto will LOSE them.
I don't see how anyone could honestly see Cotto being able to deal with Cintron's punch. There's a reason Cotto kills himself to make 140. He cannot deal well with people his own size or with his level of power.
The point is, Cotto is a much better fighter, and all around boxer. Cintron is right hand happy. He is a very strong puncher, and could be a very, very good contender. But Cotto and Cintron are not in the same class, and Cintron is a big welterweight, Cotto is a big junior welterweight. THey will not fight, at least not soon. SO no reason to argue about who would win.
i think as of right now Cotto would chew him up, but in a few years and a few divisions later i'm pretty sure these two will meet if they keep winning, i feel it would be a good scrap, have seen them both a few times, but from what i have seen Cotto has the pedigree, Kermit has some pop but Cotto is an all around better boxer
Ben Tackie had Reid down and out in the 5th round of thier fight. It was on FNF so you obviously didn't watch the fight I'm talking about. I think I have seen him down before that as well and for a guy who has as bad a chin that Reid has it sure took Cintron a while to knock him out.
Are you fucking serious??? It is a fact that tackie never knocked Reid down! Were you watching the fight with your eyes closed? Anyone else in hear see the fight? We can all have different opinions about who would win between Cotto and Cintron, but what happnened and what didn't happen in the reid Tackie fight are facts because the fight already happned. Tackie never dropped Reid. In fact Reid won every round until a severely weight drained Teddy Reid punched himself outand had no energy left, and was stopped by a tackie barrage while still on his feet!
Cotto in my opinion can handle Cintron, his excellent boxing skills, tight defense, poise, power and accuracy will negate whatever size advantage Kermit has on him. Kelson Pinto is about the size as Cintron and he's got power on those gloves as well. Cotto patiently and systematically dismantled him.
in spite of the size differnce that several of you have pointed out, i think this fight would be a mismatch. Cotto is so good, so fast with those short punches, and with his beautiful technique i see him beating Cintron up all night. At the beginning there;d be some good exchanges but once Kermit realized he can't deal with Cotto's speed and acccuracy he'll start covering up more and eventaully be outpointed or even KO'd
The only person that has knocked down Reid was Kermit Cintron. You obviously didn't watch the fight. Reid has been stopped 3 times. The only person to knock him down was Cintron. he was never floored in either of the other two fights in which he was stopped. I also found it interesting that everyone completely overlooked the fact that Cotto was hurt by a single right hand from Sosa who is a Jr Lightweight! And Ndou began his career at 126. These are facts not opinion. Cintron destroys Cotto, and so would Teddy Reid.

Somebody have it in for Cotto? Its laughable that you say Teddy Reid would DESTROY Cotto. Reid is a joke and I find it funny that you are holding him in such high regard. In which round did this single right hand "hurt" Cotto? Cotto never looked hurt to me in that fight. The right hand may have surprised him but at no time in the fight did Cotto look wobbled or in any sort of trouble. Cintron is outclassed and outgunned in a fight with Cotto now or later. And even if N'Dou landed a good hard shot on Cotto means nothing...N'Dou is one of the better 140 fighters right now.

Cotto would beat Cintron by decision. Boxing 101, Teddy Reid has been knocked down several times and I remember Tackie knocking him out in about 5 rounds.
Cintron is 6' When he enters the ring his weight is anywhere from 160-164. 77" reach. All you Cotto fans need to go and rewatch the fight between Cotto and Sosa. Pay particular attention to the 3rd round where Sosa, a former Jr Lightweight and Lightweight seriously buzzed Cotto with one right hand. Cintrons right hand will end the fight. PERIOD. Cotto is a good boxer, I do not deny that. But Cintron is to much for him. I love when people say everyone is more skiled than Kermit. Hopw does he keep knocking people out? Why does he have the highest KO % of any active fighter? How did he go from amateur to world champ in 4.5 years. Pretty good for a guy with "no skill!" Lets not forget that Kermit got his top 10 ranking by knocking out a legit top 10 WW.Not to mention Teddy reid had never been knocked down in his entire career! N'dou was a good tough fighter, but he began his career at 126, and came very close to beating Cotto!
Cintron has size on Cotto true...but where else does he have advantages? Cotto is a big Jr Welter and has serious power as well. He is clearly better than Cintron in every aspect of his game outside of power.
From what I could see Miguel was in complete control of himself and his fight against N'Dou. Sure N'dou is one of the toughest Jr. Welters right now and can make any fight look ugly. N'Dou tagged Cotto with some good shots but Miguel kept taking them and landing the more accurate, sharper punches. N'Dou came close to beating Sharmba is more like it.
Who has Cintron fought? If Teddy Reid was his best comp yet then it's sad because Reid was cracking Cintron with his slow, telegraphed power shots. Imagine what Cotto's heavy, quick, accurate shots would do to him. Cintron has more to prove and improve on than Cotto. Cotto clearly beat N'Dou, a man who gave may have beat Sharmba. He viciously KO'ed Sosa, who, granted is out of his natural weight class but went the whole nine with Floyd. A large number of people thought that Pinto would beat Cotto because of their history in the amateurs and he impressively proved them wrong.
With regards to Cintrons right hand...I don't think he's as quick as he could be when the throws them. N'Dou was somewhat swarming Cotto and smothering him with punches. Contiron isn't really a volume puncher. Plus I think Miguels defense (especially against the right hand upstairs) will only improve with the experience he gains at 140.
I'll be the first to tell you that Cotto is one of my favorite fighters and I see him being extremely successful in his career. He will carry 147, 154, and 160 quite nicely. I dunno this fight would occur way down the line at 154 and I just see Cotto being the much better fighter whenever that time comes. Just my humble opinion.

you know your boxing , thats for sure but thats your second post and both were wrote , and well wrote i must say , in order to defend kermit cintron

and BTW , cintron is good but he got hit by reid who telegraphs everything. a skilled fighter like cotto would find even more holes...
in terms of boxing entertainment i prefer cintron to cotto , BTW
Are you kidding
