    Paul Williams-Kermit Cintron Talks Begin

    After a few months of back and forth trash talking, negotiations are underway to match WBO welterweight champion Paul Williams (33-0, 24 KOs) against IBF champion Kermit Cintron in a unification fight that will take place in February on HBO. [details]

      WOOP WOOP! This fight would be a tremendous one, and would definately put to rest the arguments of who's the next big thing in the Welterweight division. I say winner of this fight should probably fight Margarito again, or maybe the loser of Cotto-Mosley? Being that the winner will most likely fight Floyd, whoever wins this should fight the loser/Margarito and determine who gets the winner of Floyd-Cotto/Mosley.

      I'd like to see Cintron TKO 11, but it'll be a task.

        I like Williams by UD. If he can keep Cintron off-balance and keep moving to avoid that big right hand, he should take it home.

          Williams would be on a ridiculous lay off by that time. I figured he'd be a lot more active. Great news nonetheless.

              I think Cintron has the tools to beat Williams who is not special beyond his abnormal size. Williams lacks true power, even though he's a huge welterweight he can't put the top guys away. That having been said I think he could beat Margarito in a rematch (paw his way to a UD after saying he was going to "punish him") 9 out of ten times. In the same light I can't see Cintron beating Margarito because he can't knock him out or bully him. So I think this is good news for Margarito and mayweather if he ever decides to fight the guys who unifies the division because it won't be Williams.

                This will be a great fight and this is how I would see things working out over the next 6 months with the Welterwight division.

                As much as i like Hatton, he would get torn apart by either of these guys (Williams/Cintron) should he win the fight against Mayweather and as much as I like Mayweather, I honestly think he'd duck both fighters with an excuse that the money isn't there....though I hope both of my projections are proved wrong.

                A rematch with Margarito isn't necessary for Williams but would be interesting for Cintron. If Cintron could come back and beat Margarito this time around then he honestly deserves to fight the best out there, though I feel that he should anyway.

                Truthfully, I think the winner of the Cotto/Mosley fight should fight the winner of the Hatton/Mayweather and whoever would wins that matchup should fight the winner of the Cintron/Williams fight. I feel these 6 welterweights are the best in the division and it would really prove whose the best hands down.

                  Great fight for boxing. Not to get too ahead of ourselves, but let's assume Mayweather beats Hatton and Cotto beats Mosley and Mayweather still refuses to fight Cotto. Well now, if I'm Miguel Cotto I wait for the winner of this fight, hopefully win, and let the results speak for themselves.
