If they faught in a couple of months at welterweight in Puerto Rico who do you think would win and why. I think that I would go with Cotto because right now he's more technically sound. He should probally be at 147 anyway. However he wont be way bigger then Cintron as he is with everyone at 140. Cintron will be the bigger and stronger man. I go with Cotto now but maybe Cintron in a few years
im not sure if u notice but cintron REALLY struggled against teddy reid to go just 8 rounds, he was dam tired. don't get me wrong he has sum good skills, but he has a stamina issue.
cotto has faced sum legit contendors. sosa, ndou, bazan a former challenger. also to me for sum reason cintrons body looks vulnerable. cottos body shots hurt.
i would hav to say cotto TKO mayb KO from 6-9
Let me remind everyone to rewatch Cottos fight against Victoriano Sosa. Play extra attention tothe 3rd round. Sosa lands a single right hand that visibly hurts Cotto and sends him into retret for the rest of the round. While I do not bring this up to question Cottos ability because he obviously is a very talented fighter. My point is that if right hand from a jr lightweight hurt him Cintrons right hand puts him to sleep.
Cintron is too big and too strong. Cotto was getting hit by N´dou, if he got hit twice in a row by Cintron the fight would be over. Cotto has to stay at 140 as there is too much size and power at Welter.
Cintron is a natural middleweight and has some pretty good pop.
I would expect that at fight time, Cintron would have between 5 and 10 pounds and he would wear down the smaller fighter coming up.
I may be in the minority here, but Cintron UD10.
I think Cotto would win, even though Cintron might be stronger. Cotto has very good defense and is hard to hit. I don't think Cintron has the experience to try and out box Cotto. Cotto would break him down with bodyshots all night.
Cintron would probably KO him, but I have a feeling Cotto will be the next champ at 140lbs, as long as he stay away from Tszyu he has a future infront of him.
But of course Zoo would clean out 140 and 147, right
Cintron would probably KO him, but I have a feeling Cotto will be the next champ at 140lbs, as long as he stay away from Tszyu he has a future infront of him.
