Agreed. Alvarez has definitely improved & is becoming a very decent fighter. But Trout is a whole different ball game.
Those saying that Trout caught Cotto at the right time, need to realize that Cotto gave Mayweather one of his toughest fights only months before, but once Trout got him he's slipped? Nigga please! It was Trout that made Cotto look that way & he deserves all the credit for it!
I don't think Canelo has fought anyone near Trout's ability, who can box & spoil. Both guys will be tested but Alvarez will be the one exposed...
The Best There Is, The Best There Was, The Best There Ever Will Be
Cotto was a little battle worn but he and Alvarez share a very similar style and Trouts style was bad for Cotto and it will be the same frustrating style for Alvarez. I keep having flashbacks of Matthew Hatton. Had he had any pop he may have had Alvarez in trouble several times. Some claim he has been showing steady improvement. Against whom, a Sugar Shane that has not pulled the trigger for about two years. This is another example of a carefully guided career full of predetermined results running into roadblocks. In fairness it could also prove to be an example of a fighter silencing his critics. Its certainly no forgone conclusion that Trout wins this.
I'll agree that Cotto was probably a little worn, but I still base my opinion of a fighter on his last performance, & in his last fight (Floyd) before the Trout fight he looked very good imo
There were folks calling for Cotto/ Alvarez prior to the Trout fight, many saying Cotto would be the one to expose Canelo, but once Trout made Cotto look very ordinary their story changed to Cotto was this & that & discredit the performance that Trout gave
Trout is a very good fighter & I think his jab alone will be one of Canelo's biggest hurdles
I agree this is not a forgone conclusion, to me it could be a very evenly matched competitive bout
The Best There Is, The Best There Was, The Best There Ever Will Be
In any event this should be a good scrap for us fans to look forward to May 4th. Both pugs are the same size, are around the same height & reach, and both are undefeated. So somebody's '0' has got to go, I say it's Trout's but we shall see.
cheers
A compelling fight. I'd probably look into seeing this live!
if canelo fight against mayweather it would be awesome fight.
