Comments Thread For: Trout on Canelo: Does He Have The Balls To Fight?

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

NEW YORK — Deep down, Austin Trout understands that, at least for the foreseeable future, Saturday night was about as close as he’ll come to getting Saul “Canelo” Alvarez into a boxing ring he also occupies.

Alvarez sat ringside as Trout (26-0, 14 KOs) picked apart favored Miguel Cotto (37-4, 30 KOs) and retained his WBA super welterweight title at Madison Square Garden. The emerging Mexican star offered an obligatory, “I’ll fight anybody,” to a Golden Boy Promotions publicist after Trout’s unanimous decision win was announced by ring announcer Jimmy Lennon Jr.

Canelo's team sure doesn't have the balls to make the fight.

Pretty sure Al Haymon wants Floyd to fight Canelo, rather than Trout.

Or he could get a 2 for 1 and have both. Basically get paid twice instead of once.

Silly Trout, dont you know you've got to have at least one of two requirements to fight Canelo (preferably both):

1)Be old

2)Be a midget


Trout has neither! Fight aint gonna happen!

How can a guy be a champion and a prospect at the same time? Alvarez is a joke to me until he proves otherwise.

sorry trout back of the line your too boring no power too slick youll never sell tickets , alvarez is more worried about losing cash than losing to your wimpy ass, Canelo is smart to go after mayweather, besides trout your not that good canelo would smoke you anyway in a fight youve not earned in any way shape or form boxing is about spectacle your just too boring,14ko fighters dont capture anyones attention sorry....

GBP isn't going to jeopardize a potential Floyd/Canelo sweepstakes.

Trout is a good guy, fights hard, comes to fight, is in great shape, bangs if he has to, but he's over his head if he thinks he can handle Canelo. Canelo is on the verge of the second coming of Marvin Hagler. Nobody wants to fight Canelo but for a big payday. Mayweather won't even fight him for the payday. This guy is becoming a twisted steel wrecking machine. He will carve Chavez up like firewood. Sergio carrying his hands around his waste fill get from Canelo early, which Chavez could not finish, because he was stoned. Not to many guys are willing to fight Canelo. He's too big for Pacquiao. Get used to it. If Canelo doesn't lose his desire or killer instinct, and so long as he stays out of trouble and in outstanding shape, he'll reign as the unified Champion for many years.
