I think this fight should be made because there both young hungry champions and it would be a unification bout, I know this is a dangerous fight for williams because of the 1 punch power of cintron, but I think williams could knock out cintron in the later rounds, I still question cintrons chin, So Id say Williams by Tko10, I dont think his chin would hold up for 12 rounds with williams punch output speed and his constant pressure, unless cintron gets a early knockout.
I would love to see this fight. If Cintron comes out the winner then I think a rematch with Margarito would be in order. It would be the best way for him to solidify his standing as a WW champ and getting past Margarito would be an excellent way for him to be in top contention for another belt. He wouldn't have to call out the big names cause they'll be calling him out. If Cintron beats two of the most feared boxers in the division the other champs will have no choice but to take him on to solidify their standings as champions. I know its hopefull thinking but with the power cintron has its possible for him to be standing on top of the world if he can land the right hand on Mayweather and truely prove whether Cotto has a glass jaw or not. Yeah I'm basing it all on hope but Cintron does have a punchers chance and with one of the greatest trainers in the fight game his chances could look alot worse.
Cintron is still pretty stiff and his defense is non-existant. That might be a problem against Williams. I give Kermit the edge but those flaws will come back to haunt him against a more experienced fighter. It certainly did against Margarito.
He's definitely a different fighter today than the one who fought Margarito.
His punches & movements look more fluid now. I wouldn't even mind seeing a rematch between him and Maragarito but he should take out williams first.
the loss was SUCH a bad loss for kermit that autonomously, and understandably so - people will never see the improvement in his fight game that hes made; but time will tell eventually tell if he has or hasn't. get him in there with a real guy and when he pulls out the W or L - well, we'll go from there now wont we?
but kermit's improvement since his union with steward is obnoxiously blatant to me.
this would be a pefect matchup i'm a big fan of both guys, i would like to say kerm could pull it off, but pwill is so damn big, who knows. good fight to be made, winner has a rematch with marg, then hopefully:
mayweather-hatton
cotto-mosley
winner of cotto mosley fights mayweather, and the winner of the kerm/pwil-marg rematch fights mayweather. i think thats pretty good matchups
i'd like to see this fight, two big ass dudes that like to throw hands - i think that cintrons improved a lot and in direct opposition to what dlt said, i'm not basing this off of hope, i'm basing it off of reasons like the long right counter, the inside game that steward's shown 'um and his maturation from the margarito fight.
have you, dlt, not heard of paulie malignaggie - incredibly, i know, some fighters actually improve after a loss if taken the right way, as a lesson learned!

This is the fight that I'm most interested in. This fight should definitely happen. I would rather see Cintron/Williams rather than him fighting Cotto.
My pick would be Cintron by KO.
MAKE THIS FIGHT HAPPEN!!!
If Margarito can catch Williams flush in mid to late rounds, Cintron will be doing it from the opening bell of the 2nd. You've got to admit, the kid is scary accurate, and has very fast hands inside and out. I don't think Williams' punch output will negate Cintron's power much past the point at which he gets caught flush with an overhand right. I predict Williams will go down 3 or 4 times before either failing to beat the count, or the fight gets stopped by the ref (or Williams' corner).
You have to remember that Cintron is still just a kid, literally. That's a HUGE fucking wildcard. On any given day, he might either beat the best guy in the universe, or get his ass kicked by a 12 year old GG champ. Flip that coin. His trainer is the best in the business, and I tend to lean toward the former.
Williams is being overhyped imo. He fought a good fight, but he showed alot of holes. People are already calling him the most feared boxer in the sport.
Williams leaves himself to open for Cintron. Margo couldn;t hit him very flush more often because he is very slow and his punches are too wide. Cintron throws a fast THUNDERING right hand, which i think would put Paul right down on his ass.
I'm a big williams fan though. He needs to develop a little more power.
I'd pick Williams, because Cintron doesn't have the body attack to slow Williams down, from what I've seen. If he gets lucky/in there, he could drop him. He's a pretty big puncher. BUT, Williams, is a good boxer, nice movement, good chin and a nice long and quick jab. Tall, long reach, great stamina. He's my pick, but I'm not surprised either way.
Margarito has a Iron chin and williams gets more tkos than kos, walter has bad defense so dont jump the gun on cintron, Williams has the speed punch output and reach to beat any WW.
True, but if Margarito got started earlier, he might have got to him. Some of the shots he landed did real damage, it just wasn't enough to overcome the punch output.
Personally, I had the Margarito - Williams fight very close. I scored it for Williams, but only by two rounds. I also think that Cotto could destroy Williams, and would put Citron up as the favorite if they fought.
Here are the Welter fights I'd want to see most:
Mayweather - Any top Welterweight.
Not because I like his style, but only because, if he's as good as he seems, I'd like to witness the legacy he could create. If, and it's a big if to me, Mayweather ran the table on the current crop of Welter's, over the next three years, then he could legitimately be place amongst the greatest of all time.
The only problem, and perhaps the most frustrating thing about the guy, is he probably won't do it.
Anyone who is picking Cintron is just picking him off of hope. No way he has showed enough for someone to pick him. He looked very good against Mathysee but Im still not sold. He still seems uncoordinated, has bad balance, and I think he still gets shooked if a guy can stand up to him and stay offensive against him. I see Williams easily overwhelming him and stopping him withing 7 as Cintron gets nervous and goes into a shell.
He has Foreman like power at times but he doesnt have the overall tools to go with it. He's getting better but Williams is definatly not the guy for him to fight right now. If he wants to fight someone then it should be Clottey or something

It might be the only fight out there for both of them. Who wants to fight either of them right now? High risk, low reward. If they fight, the winner could make a case for the better known fighters in the division. Citron isn't gong to get Mosely. Williams isn't going to get Cotto. Mayweather isn't touching either of them (Money, he'd say, but both are dangerous), and DLH is looking for someone who'll stand in front of him.
What other choice do they have?
Margarito has a Iron chin and williams gets more tkos than kos, walter has bad defense so dont jump the gun on cintron, Williams has the speed punch output and reach to beat any WW.
I'd pick Cintron to win because of the vast improvement he's shown since his loss to Margarito. Not to mention his amazing knockout power and having one of, if not the greatest trainer in the world in his corner in Emmanuel Steward. I think Cintron has a serious future and I'd love to see Cotto-Cintron one day down the line.
id pick Cintron, Williams didnt impress me against Margarito......but he could very welll outwork the shit out of Cintron and get the Decision, but Steward is no stupid newbie, he would come up with a plan Cintron could use against that lanky bastard...
