I am a lot bigger, physically, than him. That was the first time I had been right next to him. I knew pretty much about his dimensions. But seeing it up close, it was funny. But it was cool. We kind of looked at him and we agreed that if we need to, we can definitely push this little dude around."
... "He looked me right in the eyes, and a lot of people don't do that for as long as we were in the stare down. I didn't expect fear. But I thought that it was funny that he really had to look up a lot to do the stare down. I'm 5-foot-10, and I would say that he's about 5-8 or 5-7."
Does Trout have what it takes to beat Cotto? Trout has never fought anyone good, his record book is filled with a bunch of nobodys.. i feel like his talking alot of crap and his not going to be able to back it up on DEC 1st.. size isnt everything and knowing that Cotto has fought bigger guys than him at 154 and has been succesful i would not be opening my mouth like his doing.
Austin Trout is going down Dec 1st.
Cotto is 5ft. 7 inches. He is stocky and very strong. Trout won't be able to push him around. I don't know why Trout thinks being 3 inches taller means he can out muscle Cotto. Trout is a strong guy but Cotto is a bull. Trout should use his reach to keeps the fight at long range. I think Cotto is better than Trout at close to midrange fighting. Cotto has better combinations and more power than Trout and a much harder jab.
Actually sometimes talking is good for soe boxers, they are convincing themself they can win.
Some say some Do!! Let's see what Trout brings.

One thing is certain, Trout is a pure 154 lb bigger and has fast hands. If Cotto wins this people have to give him a great deal of credit.
Margarito and Yuri Foreman are true 154lbs and both were bigger than Cotto.. Even Mayorga its somewhat bigger than Cotto and Mayorga looked stronger than Cotto did but we all know who won... and i highly doubt Trout has faster hands than Mayweather and we all watched the Mayweather Cotto fight.. Trout doesnt have half the defense Mayweather has and Mayweather still got caught with some good shots by Cotto so that being said Trout will be open for alot of shots.. and Cotto has fast hands.
I am not liking all this talk from Trout. The guy is talking as if he is a proven warrior and a superior fighter when he should be glad that he is getting this chance at all. Trout is just setting himself to look ridiculous in the end if Cotto, the little guy he was supposed to push around, takes his belt, undefeated record, and his credibility.

He can say what he wants but he's not pushing "that little dude around." Guaranteed. I hope he keeps talking smack, that's only gonna ignite Cotto IMO.
