Trouts next move...

Go for the winner of Angulo/Lara. Keep his name in the mix or he will fall back into the obscurity he was in prior to Cotto.

Brian Rose could use a jump in class.

Pretty safe fight for trout too.

Trout should win a alphabet strap and rematch cotto.

If I was Trout id be avoiding Angulo/Lara winner like the plague. Lara is horrible to fight and makes anyone look bad and Angulo is a killer and trout aint been in with a puncher like him before. Rose is a good shout. Easy fight for him and gets him some exposure outside the US although I dont think Rose would take the fight.

If I was him Id be targetting the Smith v Molina winner and if he wins that the winner of the Cotto v Alvarez fight for a unification fight.

Nah. If he wants to stay relevant after beating Cotto and losing to Alvarez then he's got to jump into the fire. I think Lara is a little overrated and Angulo is a bit of a one trick pony. Smith v Molina is a pretty good option but Smith is a Mayweather fighter and Trout is a Haymon fighter. It's probably more likely that Floyd fights Smith lol although I believe he will fight at 147 at least one more time. I doubt very much that he ever gets a rematch with Cotto or Alvarez.

Kirkland at 154 is a good move, and I think the Smith/Molina winner is a good move. Isn't there another Russian titleholder in the division?

I agree, picking an unrated fighter is the wrong move, he should be looking forward, not backward. You learn by fighting good opponents, what can you learn from an unrated opponent?
