Should cintron move to MMA

his mental weakness would be worse in mma if he gets hurt he will give up.

I dont see why a guy thats held the IBF title in the hottest division in boxing right now would make a move to mma..

I'm not sold on Cintron's wrestling skills. He may have wrestled in highschool but that is very different from the levels of wrestling currently in MMA. Not only that, but he looks soft in clinch type situations. Add in little to no experience in submissions, he would get beat much more than he would win. I think a better career move would be to find a trainer that could teach him the defensive aspects of the sport.

cintron is good for boxing ....he should stay as long as he loves the sport or as long as he wants to stay!

cintron shouldn't go to mma.

I kind of agree but on a second look would you risk your life for a 10k and then fight for another 10 k under Dana White. I am surprise Koshchek agreed to fight GSP for 8k and took a beating too, for what? After that performance kalib will be lucky to fight in the ufc again let alone get 10k. And if Josh thought he had a legit chance to win it was an investment in his future (or a gamble, if you like). The fact that he got mauled severely makes it look like a dumb thing to do, but it wouldnt have been dumb if he'd have won it.

they only hit harder because of the rediculous tiny gloves. Anybody is a puncher in MMA. Imagine a natural puncher like Cintron, landing a flush shot on a guy in MMA with 4 ounce gloves??? You think ANYBODY would be concious after that?DUDE THESE GUYS DONT KNOW SHIT SO DONT BOTHER TRYING TO EXPLAIN.....CINTRON DOES HIT HARDER THAN AL,OST ANY MMA FIGHTER IN HIS WEIGHT CLASS AND HIGHER ONES ,THE GUY KNOCKS PPL OUT WITH 10 OZ GLOVES...IMAGINE WHAT HE WOULD DO WITH 4 OZ .....HE WOULD DECAITATE THESE POOR SOULS!!!!

Cintron needs to learn some defense before he even conciders continueing his boxing carreer.

with a bit more traiing and maybe a slow progression he could do it

If Cintron can't stand to get hit with boxing gloves, what's he gonna do when he gets cracked with MMA gloves. He'll be crying for a week.

To be the best. But I do agree on the money situation.

It's called no heart

First off, Kimbo hasn't really been tested. Please, please don't believe the Gary Shaw's hype. Second off, there is no way Kermit can be at Sherk's level of wrestling. Sherk is not only a born wrestler, he's pretty much Elite in his weight division. Kermit would have to go through a complete lifestyle change in order to edge Sherk's level. If Cintron is serious, he'll need to work an intense year and a half in a good school. Not only will he need to drop old habits and reawaken his wrestling ability, but he'll also need to develop a basic but sound submission defense. His best bet is to petition STRIKEFORCE or Cage Rage for at least an undercard position. Not only would he get his mug on the posters and paid well, he'll be able to test and grow himself in the process. You want to talk about RUNNING! Kalib Starnes ran for 3 rounds straight. WTF was up with that?

or break his hand and sit out for six weeks. Either way....

lol what does wrestling have to do with defending a submmision. it would allow him to sprawl similar to chuck, therefor he wouldnt be on the ground. If he could defend the takedown, which he should with his wrestling background and a little more training, he wouldnt have to worry about submissions. Plus one punch from Cintron in 4oz gloves knocks out probably even the 200lbers in the UFC, so hed always have a punchers chance against anybody

He has the power and he has the wrestling. He is a very athlectic guy and if kimbo can do it, I don't see why he can't. Plus kermit with 4oz gloves would be scary for any fighter facing him.

Could Cintron hit Sherk and send his head into the 20th row i absolutely agree with you, i just question when hes n his back thats all.

Im not gonna argue if Cintron would beat Sean Sherk theres no point in wasting my time, Cintron would be a good mma fighter in bodog or something. well first of all he could beat him right now all it takes is one punch, especially from a guy like CINTRON. But the odds would obviously be against him right now, and heavily. HOwever, if he put 1 very hard year in an MMA gym, with the wresting experience he already has, and then builds himself up over the coarse of maybe 2-3 years to Sherks level, itd be easy win for a guy with Cintrons already exceptional standup skills
