Where Do You Rank Trout After Cotto Win?

#1 with the champ being undecided. That's if we disregard Floyd Mayweather who i think will return to 147 in his next fight.

Defeating Cotto as cleanly as he did, Trout certainly moves up into the upper echelon of the 154 division. What is needed in the division are some unification fights- cleaning out of the division. 154 is up for grabs right now, and Trout has as good a shot as anyone to wear the crown. What's crazy is, GBP dominates this division. You would think that it'd be easy to make fights happen, but politics get in the way.

#1 at 154 because first of all Mayweather is not a True Light Middleweight and Canelo haven't fought any fukin body

I'd like to see Trout Vs. Canelo, Molina or Lara next. He needs a big fight next and deserves one.

I don't know that tonight was so much about Trouts rise as it is about Cotto falling off a cliff. I think the jury remains out on Trout IMO. That's obviously not Cotto's best weight. He always fades late, which is what ultimately led to his downfall in this fight. He started breathing through his mouth at about round 7 or 8. I think Trout had a good showing. There's some things he could definitly work on. I'd like to see him fight a WBA ranked fighter, most of which are undefeated, then go on to fight a ring top 10 guy later next year.

1. Mayweather 2. Trout 3. Canelo 4. Cotto 5-8 Molina, Lara, Martirosyan, Kirkland

4th behind Floyd Canelo Molina

#2 behind Floyd.

Ranking this division is very difficult because most guys haven't fought each other. However, I know for a fact that Alvarez doesn't have the resume to be ranked at the top 3. Trout, Mayweather, Lara, Cotto, and Molina could all be ranked among the top 5 however.

Certainly no lower than #3 spot but cotto needs to hang up the gloves.

number 1 ..i feel he beat cotto better and clearer than floyd did too...

He's cemented himself as a top fighter @154. I don't like ranking this division because of Floyd and Canelo, so I won't.

#2, surely.

Definitely over Ginger.......

Lara, Molina, and now Trout belong above Alvarez without a single doubt. They are proven fighters within that division, something Alvarez is not. If you count Mayweather at 154, he belongs above Alvarez as well. Trout has an argument for the top spot, or second if you count Floyd. No lower than 3 IMO.

mayweather trout alvarez yeah, he deserves a hometown fight after this one.

Austin "Road Warrior" Trout...I'd like to see him get a fight in his home town now. He's earned it.
