Is Kermit Cintron the right man?

[CRESCENDOPOWER]

It isn't enough to have been a good high school wrestler. Most of the UFC guys competed at a high level in college, and have been doing additional groundwork for years.

Additionally, there is a big difference b/w freestyle wrestling and submission. There are alot of (bad) habits to break. H.S wrestling is designed to protect the participants. UFC/MMA is designed to inflict maximum punishment or effect a submission.

Kermit would have A LOT of work to do before he is ready. He is in for a rude awakening.

Thank you!

I don't like his chances . .kermit lacks metal toughness.

Shreks ***** ass aint even gonna attempt to stay on his feet because he knows he gonna get KO'd. If Cintron can stay on his feet he has a hell of a chance, and just hold on for dear life if he does get taken down. Liddell sucks on the ground yet he beats grapplers because his takedown defense is great

even if it would make boxing look bad i wish cintron would get ktfo for beating d. estrada

The point of the of White's challenge was to see if the best boxer in the world could beat a top ufc fighter with the presumed limitation of only having boxing skills. People don't realize that boxers are quite constrained in what they can do in the ring, but the truth is they often they break the rules and every one of them knows how to use his knees and elbows. The notion that a boxer of Mayweather's calibre wouldn't have any idea how to handle a lunging fool like Sherk is rather humorous! Lunges are slower than punches. Mayweather is difficult enough to hit with a punch, there is no chance a lunge is going to connect. But this Mayweather I talking about here, not Cintron. Mayweather has never buckled under stress, Cintron has.

I don't even wanna see this crossover bull****. Kermit has a share of the welterweight title, is probably gonna be in one hell of an exciting fight in the near future, and instead of taking on one of the MANY options at welter I gotta watch him on some MMA ****?!?!? Forget that!!!!

It seems doubtful to me that White will risk 2 mil on Cintron. He knows a no win fight when he sees one.

if you seen Cintron last fight you know that he is a different fighter then when he faced Margarito

UFC already turned down Cintron...

I see your point but the thread is asking is he the man to represent boxing in an MMA fight and given that he has alot more wrestling experience than most other boxers I can think of he IMO is a good choice....not saying he would win but you see what I mean?
