Williams and Cintron fight nothing alike, in fact they couldn't be more opposite in every way except both being relatively tall welterweights.
I'm not putting as much stock into Margarito-Cintron I as others, but it is worth noting that Cintron was the only one who looked like an amateur that night. He's improved since then, but not to the degree that everyone's suggesting, he's just been well-matched.
Estrada was a good test for a comeback fight (or at least 2nd fight after the Margarito disaster), but I didn't see any great improvement in that fight or any other since then. People want to compare his blitzing of Matthysse to Williams' slight struggle against him, but again, it comes down to styles. Kermit is a power puncher, Williams is a finesse fighter.
Kermit's seemingly at his peak and Tony's a bit on the slide, which should make this weekend more competitive than three years ago (not to mention Kermit going into that fight on after a layoff, and really not fighting anyone worth a damn prior to). But I'd be surprised if Cintron won this weekend.
