For some reason he reminds me of Quartey.

I thought Trout Lara was confirmed for the Mayweather undercard but must have been mistaken. I reckon Lara beats him.
@Silkeyjoe - Al Haymon pulled the plug on this one being on the Mayweather undercard. It could happen elsewhere though from what I've heard. I bet it was a money issue. With Floyd's guarantee, Canelo's guarentee and the money going to Matthysse & Garcia I'd bet there isn't that kind of money to throw around.
I thought Trout definitely lost to Canelo. To me, there was no debate. However, I thought he did very well in losing. He has only lost once. He's had a few good wins. I view him as the next best junior middleweight. I would like to see him against the Andrade-Martirosyan winner, even though I know it can't happen because of politics. Lara wouldn't be bad either. I'm on high on Trout.
Canelo-Trout wasn't controversial at all. I thought Canelo clearly won the fight.
Personally Im not too thrilled about Trout because he has no creativity in his his game. You look at the way he attacks his opponents and the guys has no imagination in his offense as he throws the same sequence of punches over and over .
I see him as a Deandre Latimore type . Not in terms of style, but Latimore was also an avoided fighter for a short time but dude got exposed real quick.
All he can do at this point is keep fighting other guys who are avoided just like he is. IM talking about the likes of Lara, Rosado, Ishe Smith..
I dont think Trout is some great fighter.
I think Trout is a really good fighter. Honestly ,I would even put him top 20 p4p . He showed lots of ability and talent in the Canelo and Cotto fights. Too bad , he has been avoided recently. If Lara would fight him, Trout would win a comfortable decision - Lara wouldn't be able to just win countering as Trout would score enough to win a competitive but decisive decision.
I dunno man. Only in that they both wore gloves to work? If he had Quarteys jab and puncher instinct he may have beat a coasting Alvarez.
I like Trout, he is a refreshing fighter to all the glory boy diva syndrom around. Very skilled and solid but I think he was looked at as just a measuring stick in Alvarez match but always was capable. He was the closest thing to a Mayweather Alvarez faced and he showed flaws in Alvarez approach. Let him fight the Andrade v Martirosyan winner or higher.
