Steward thinks Cintron can beat Pacquiao
April 14th, 2011
By Dan Ambrose: Trainer and HBO analyst Emanuel Steward thinks that former International Boxing Federation (IBF) welterweight champion Kermit Cintron (32-3-1, 28 KO’s) has the talent to beat Manny Pacquiao if given the chance at fighting him. With the 31-year-old Cintron signing with Top Rank promotions earlier today, the chances of Cintron getting a future fight with Pacquiao rose exponentially.
Steward may have forgotten Cintron’s poor performances against Paul Williams, his two fights against Antonio Margarito and his less than impressive 12 round draw against Sergio Martinez where Cintron was knocked down by a huge left hand from Martinez and was able to convince the referee that the knockdown was from a head butt rather than a left hand. It’s hard to see Cintron beating Margarito right now, much less Pacquiao. Hopefully, Arum waits until Cintron has actually beaten someone talented before he installs him as Pacquiao’s next opponent.
A fight right now between Cintron and Pacquiao would open Pacquiao and Arum up for a lot of criticism because of how Cintron’s last fight with Williams ended. In that fight, Cintron dove out of the ring in the 4th when the going got tough. Although it looked like Cintron had tripped over one of Williams’ legs, it still caused a lot of fans to speculate that Cintron had dove out of the ring to save himself from getting punishment by Williams.

jeride….a rumor is just that. mayweather is widely known for his “affairs”…i dont think they are ever mentioned. wife-beating and assault are not the same as an affair. haye is presently hanging out with a stripper…it got a little press because he is flaunting it…but his fans dont care. (mayweather is naturally bigger than pacman, why doesnt he fight sergio?????) (sergio called him out as well. and sergio is a natural 154 pounder, so its not about size.)
Make it a cage fight or Cintron may sneak out between rounds.

@kanto; that’s what happens when you live a country that has low expectations for it’s people. I live in the United States and we have higher expectations for our citizens. We would never believe it’s ok for someone to take advantage of the helpless and the weak. Here you get no points beating on the handicap or needy. We like to see men matched evenly against an opponent before we call it a fight. Enjoy watching your hero beating wheelchair bound fighters.

so why the hell you enjoy watching floyd beating a woman, a rent-a-cop and a security guard?

Citron had the talent,just not the heart and head for fighting at the top level.

“I bet the Paq fans will accept any opponent for Manny as ling as he’s just in the ring”
ABSOLUTELY! People watch boxing to watch men fight, stup!
You know what’s unacceptable?
…boxer who only fights women, security guard or fighting someone on twitter..

cant wait to hear manny fans defend this fight as a great match up not to mention cintron would have to come down to 147 to fight manny. this has gotten to the point that manny is a total jock. cant believe u idiots still defend this dood. cintron??????? wow.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
LoL – LMAO
Then who else would Pacquiao fight? Twitter, Security Guard or Floyd’s undefeated wife? Remember this little Filipino fighter is taking or has been taking risks fighting bigger men.
Big nose
Tigil ka na sa computer mo, amo mo naggalit na.
kafatid
correction on my last post, its not margarito but martinez, sorry folks!
manny said he can fight margarito at 150 and since he walks around at 142, he can go down to 135 to accommodate marquez.
expect floydiots to call marquez and margarito as has-beens, washed up, old and shot fighters hahaha….
a lot of fighters have a chance in beating manny. it happened before. it’s boxing. anyboby can win in one big shot.
the only thing is, chances could either go big or slim. in citron’s case…/:)
@ BIG NOSE
musta kupal? di ka pa nagsasawa sa pagdisplay dito ng kabobohan mo bading? hahaha….
Look at Uncle Bob record. Cintron is to strong and to young to fight Pacman
Dan, why is it if any one is critical of Pacquiao then they are a Floyd fan? Can any one please explain this to me? Is it because you all are so narrow minded that you can not think of any thing else to say, so they are just Floyd fans? You Pacquioa fans gotta give up your fasination with Floyd Mayweather. If I was critical of David Haye does that mean I must be a automatically be a Klitchko fan? You Pacquiao fans just seem to has this fasination with Floyd for whatever reason. You all never seem to talk about Pacs present or past foes, just Floyd~!
Cintron would have to dehydrate. And he is only 31. He would have to wait 8 more years. LOL.
Stop da; I will not even debate Paq having better head movement, footwork then Floyd. Debate yourself clueless!
Floyd fans, Don’t worry about Pacquiao fights. Will watch it no matter what. Just wait for your idol to grow some balls. maybe you can see him fight again.
@F.L.A.-WE-DON’T-PLAY
Oh my god! the pest “F.L.A.-WE-DON’T-STUDY” got here already.
if martinez is willing to come down to 150 lbs it’s possible, but martinez wants floyd or pac to move up to his comfortable weight which is above 154lbs so it’s not possible.
Pac would rape Cintron, leave him with a very sore backside IMO.
Its a wasted fight. Winner of Berto/Ortiz would be a better opportunity, seeing as that other bum who carries his 0 around like its a sheild wont step up.

@ Bro Good point I was gonna say that but fighters are critiqued on they footwork by how well they stay on their toes!!Since Manny bounce around the whole fight,he got good footwork!!!SUPPOSEDLY!!!We’ll see if he has good footwork when he has to retreat against Mosley!!
@ Cali Are you???To be the man you have to beat the man!!!Ever heard of it???If and when Manny retire he not still gone be on the P4P list!!His stock finna drop on May 7th!!They gone get down next year and Mayweather gone tear that ass up!!Manny been in too many wars lately getting his head snapped back,and it will continue!!While Money sitting back watching and training!!He gone be the fresher fighter,plus he the better one already!!If Manny agree to them tests,HE WILL LOSE!!!!@ Stop the fight Manny has good footwork,but that head movement aint cutting it,with that super cranium he carries around!!People cant help but hit him in the head!!!
@ stop da fight… before u call people fools go look at some tape. see what mannys face looks like after fights and see what floyds face looks like after fights. look at the post fight interviews. just because he jumps up and down a lot doesnt mean he has great head movement. look at both of there last 6 fights then make a comment. especially after the cotto fight. even the clottey post fight interview.
Sean ur a fool. Manny has better head movement than mayweather. His whole body moves around damn near the whole fight. I think u need to take a look at pacs fights a little closer. He has the best left hand jab counter in history, due to good head movement n great footwork. U say his opponents are trash, so wut about mayweather’s opponents? Pacquaio will punish mayweather.
stewart will say any fighter he trains can beat manny. it means a big paycheck for him. all the b level fighters are jocking for position to be next in the manny sweapstakes. all the top contenders know they have no shot at getting a manny fight. thats why most of them call out floyd. manny wont ever be fighting a top contender again.
@ THE HAMMER 13
dude, are you on crack???
funnyman BIG NOSE is here again, he said he is a mestizo which means he is half filipino…. i forgot the other half, but more likely, it’s half filipina! hahahaha…ay bading pala! hahaha…
All I got to say is when ever has an outside trainer of other boxers said a Level B fighter(Level A)fighter can beat Mayweather?????NEVER!!!Want to know why???Because he is an Level A fighter and above!!!The best retired or unretired!!Everyone knows this!!I mean how can you be retired and still be #2 P4P???In my eyes really #1 still because he didnt lose,to drop to #2,Manny got a gift when h retired to get the #1 spot!!Pacman though I hate to say it is a Level B+ fighter,and thats why people think he can be beat all the time!!!Still flawed!!Great Champion and fighter,but still flawed!!!Mosley will show yall that,even if he get knocked out!!He gone have Manny running and I dont wanna hear that was Manny’s technique to beat Mosley!!!Mayweather fights backing up and supposedly he running,but guess what,he aint getting hit backing up,plus he hitting his opponent!!!Manny will be exposed on May 7th!!He better hope Sugar Shane become sour real quick in that fight!!!I think Manny gone win,but if Shane has any confidence and take the pressure Manny thinks he will apply to Shane,GOODNIGHT MANNY!!!
cant wait to hear manny fans defend this fight as a great match up not to mention cintron would have to come down to 147 to fight manny. this has gotten to the point that manny is a total jock. cant believe u idiots still defend this dood. cintron??????? wow.
steward is about that age, it’s time to put him in a nice retirement home, maybe a room with a nice view and padded walls
OH, GOD!!! Now we know why Arum signed him up. Pac will never have a credible opponent until he retires.

anyone that is a sure-fire win doesn’t matter!”
Just like Floyd Mayweather Junior huh
I watched Manny get hit by 7 straight jabs. A jab is all that’s needed to beat this overrated bum
I thought PAC couldn’t or wouldn’t fight anyone that big again. Oh, I guess Arum meant Pac won’t fight anyone that big and who is also named Sergio Martinez. Never has an elite boxer been so scared to fight anyone who is still an A level fighter! I can’t take a blood test less than 24 days before a fight if its against FMJ, but against Clottey, thats fine. No excuses with a not-shot Mosley, Roach even said he was just too good then. Won’t fight anyone who fights above 147, wait, that was only meant to apply to Martinez, anyone that is a sure-fire win doesn’t matter!
Which Paq fans still believes Arum wants to set up a fight between Mayweather and Manny? This is turning into a three ring circus! Bob will sign every stiff that has ever held a title or looks horrible in his last fight-to top rank to fight Manny. What does Manny gain by fighting Cintron? I bet the Paq fans will accept any opponent for Manny as ling as he’s just in the ring. Do you clowns have any expectations for Manny? DISGUSTING!!
I agree with @Lee Paquiao should fight winner of Berto-Ortiz!!
This article said, Cintron may have a fight with Pacman if he beat someone talented. Who? Floyd?
I doubt he can beat or even arranged with someone talented now.
Pacman vs Cintron – No Way!
Having been at the Cintron-Williams debacle, allow me to set the record straight for cynics and tough talkers: CINTRON TRIPPED AND FELL OUT OF THE RING! He’s not a pansy; it was an accident. That said, in no way should he be in line to fight Pacquiao. He should have to beat up somebody first.
Cintron has been inactive for a year. Team Pac should really be talking about facing the winner of Berto-Ortiz! Show some common sense for once!
I think the size could be a factor. for cintron having the size advantage over pac, but in terms of skills it all pacman.
Of course, everyboxer can beat anybody…and it’s called luck. If Cintron is lucky then he beats Pacman but if not then surely he’ll be knock-out by Pacman. That’s it. But i think Cintron still needs more training and techniques…margarito is much,much better than Cintron…and look what happen to Margarito against Pacman. Margarito’s face was just similar to the earthquake and tsunami in japan.Bwahahahahaha!….sorry Pachaters.lol
CINTRON WOULD KILL PAC IF HE HAD A SHOTGUN OTHERWISE HE WOULD BE BETTER OFF HIDING UNDER THE BED FROM PAUL WILLIAMS
Get off the crack roger
i am stewart fan but i think emanuel need to take in consideration that cintron lost he’s confidence thanks to margarito plaster of parish. kiermit cintron never recovered from the body punch (margarito horseshoe really hurt these guy) cintron cant take a body shot wich make him not competitive vs some one like manny pacquiao.
hahahaha! Look at all the Pacfans bashing on cry-baby Cintron.
When will this cherry picking will stop PACOWARD!
what a joke.digging up all these has beens is getting sickening.
he will get it because cintron is now with top rank.
It Doesn’t matter what Steward thinks this time even though I do respect his opinion, Cintron does not deserve a shot against the Pacman he is unworthy has not proven himself and The Pacman would hand him his Arse
Cintron??!! The guy who jumped out the ring to avoid a fight. Wimp
