Anyone like trout?

[Violent Demise]

One of the knocks I hear against Alvarez from the people backing Trout is he hasn't beaten a name fighter who was in his prime. I trying to figuere out what name fighter Trout has beaten that was still in his prime

Cotto might not have been in his prime but he took the #1 fighter in the world to the brink in his fight prior to facing Trout!

The Cotto that Trout fought is better than Lopez, Mosley, Cintron, Gomez, Rhodes, Ndou & Baldomir put together

I don't see the point your trying to make!?

Cotto was competitive against Mayweather. But the outcome was never in doubt. To say he took him to the brink is really stretching it. Actually it's just plain false. Jose Luis Castillo is the only fighter to push Mayeweather to the brink. Cotto just put up a fight. It was his last great effort. The Cotto that fought Trout would of been knocked out by Alvarez. Trout gets some credit for beating Cotto. But no need to go over board

Come on cuz, maybe "The brink" was the wrong word... but Mayweather in no way had it easy!

Floyd got hit cleanly in that fight than in many of his previous bouts, bar the Mosley right

I'm pretty sure there were only a couple of rounds in it when I watched it

Sure the Castillo fight is debatable, but that was the hardest Mayweather has had to work since Castillo

The Cotto that lost to Trout probably still beats Alvarez...

Come on now. Who you trying to fool with that? You're one of the few posters here who's posts I actually read and acknowledge. So I know for a fact you don't really believe that. Cotto looked slow and pridictable against Trout. Alvarez would of wrecked him. And I'm sure you know that. It's the reason he declined a fight with him recently. It wouldn't be much of a challenge. You like Trout. That's fine. He's a talented fighter. But I just don't see much in him. In terms of success I see Alvarez having a Julio Cesar Chavez, Juan Manuel Marquez type of career. For Trout I see a Maurice Blocker, William Joppy type of career
