Floyd Mayweather Jr. & Redemption in Puerto Rico: Could He Face Kermit Cintron?

[JmH Reborn]

fixed for ya

I've always been interested in a Margarito/Mayweather fight. I'd like to see it one day. Despite his face getting broken, Margarito won't be hurt by Mayweather, and will keep pressuring Mayweather, non stop.

It may or may not be competitive, but **** it...if he can fight JMM, two divisions removed from his prime and sell it as a legit fight, then so can this Margarito fight.

To be fair, Floyd will not have fought for over a year, even if he unexpectedly scheduled a bout after his April 28 hearing. He deserves a tuneup. I wouldn't mind Cintron.

Cintron is weak minded and it would be a **** fight. Cintron deserves top to fight on FNF if anything. Cotto v Mayweather is a real fight and Cotto would test him. IF May still has it he should beat him but it won't be an easy fight and then he can go after Manny/Martinez

[Steak]

no way this happens. big risk, little reward. Cintron doesnt bring $$$.

[Pullcounter]

at least get a viable tune up!!!

winner of berto/ortiz or amir khan or bradley would be a good tune up... cintron is a horrible tune up... who the **** wants to see that?

And I'd rather see him fight against a tough SOB like Margarito rather than a guy who hasn't stopped crying in 3 years.

We can all agree that Cintron is a crap fight. But I've always wanted to see Marg/Cotto vs Mayweather. Cotto has a style to give him troubles, and Marg is just relentless. I think that I'll always have a void when thinking about Mayweather, because those were the top 2 Welterweights back in 07-08. Oh well

Why Cintron? Mayweather should just face Cotto. Cotto will knock Floyd out!

had trouble with Judah, Mosley and malignnagi speed, couldn't see Pac, but he's gonna neutralize mays speed and defense and not only beat him but knock him out, listen there may come a time where Floyd loses but no one will just straight up beat his ass let alone knock him out

Cintron fight is speculation, Margarito would be a waste of time, his pressure would do.nothing but cause him to get hit, Floyd would stick the jab, combo and turn Margarito, slow feet and hands

Picture this.

Floyd Mayweather and Kermit Cintron have not fought since May of 2010.

Cintron was tripped in the fourth round of a very uneventful fight with Paul Williams on May 8th, 2010.

The fight was ruled a technical decision in Williams' favor.

Mayweather is coming off a unanimous decision over Shane Mosley on May 1st, 2010.

He experienced a few knee-buckling punches in the second round only to come back strong from the third on, winning every round thereafter.

Cintron is currently No. 2 in the junior middleweight (154 lbs.) rankings. Mayweather is ranked No. 2 at welterweight (147 lbs.).

Filipino sensation Manny Pacquiao is ranked No. 1 in the welterweight division and Puerto Rican superstar Miguel Cotto is ranked No. 1 in the junior middleweight division.

Beating Kermit Cintron at 154 could hype a fight with Cotto, or Mayweather could beat Cintron at 147 and skip directly to the fight fans want between himself and Pacquiao.

Either way, both fighters wouldn't be at a disadvantage. While Cintron possesses power, a slightly longer reach and about two inches of more height, he isn't as fast as Mayweather, whose reflexes and defense will likely be hell to work through.
Who Should Mayweather Fight?
Kermit Cintron and then wait another year to come back. Kermit Cintron and then Miguel Cotto. Kermit Cintron and then Manny Pacquiao Someone else.


The fight could also be held in Puerto Rico with neutral Las Vegas judges and officials flown in. This could test Mayweather's international presence and bring new life to a fight many may be reluctant to pay for.

If the fight were to work out well in Puerto Rico, Mayweather could fight Cotto in Puerto Rico again on Saturday, November 19th, 2011, the anniversary of the discovery of Puerto Rico.

If this fight is announced in late April, both fighters could keep their ranks. Then the fight could be set for June or July, leaving November open for a Cotto or Pacquiao fight for the 154 or 147 division championship.
