Austin Trout reminds me of Winky Wright

I think they are somewhat alike but there are some differences.Winky was a right hander that fought left handed giving him a great left jab. Trout is a true southpaw. Winky had a better defense, a better chin and was just a somewhat better fighter than Trout all the way around. I think people should wait until Canelo's opponent is named before they say he is ducking Trout. There is a good possibility that he will fight Trout next.

Was Winky Wright absolutely boring to watch and also have no fans like Austin Trout? Who has Trout fought for him to be worthy of ducking... Step up your game he's hardly fought anybody and he's 27! I like Winky's style, but are you saying he was exciting to watch?

They are high risk-low reward type of fighters. Their defensive stances are different, but both are tall southpaws with great reach and a great jab. Also they are both natural middleweights that can fight (in the case of Winky fought and dominated the 154 division at one point) at jr. middleweight. Yeah, there's some similarities there. Winky proved him self more after his first big fight by beating Mosley. Trout has just beat a shot Cotto that was never really that great in the first place.

Just beginning? I think you will find Trout is 27years old and has only had one big name to date that he has fought and even at that Cotto was damaged goods, Margarito beat the prime out of him. What you are talking about? He's young and is entering his prime. He's not a 30+ year fighter. And like I said he hasn't received many opportunities because he's a high risk-low reward type of fighter.

Well it's easy to say now that Trout is not as good as Winky. Winky is retired and Trout is just beginning his career. But their physical dimensions are very similar and with their styles they don't make you look good. Just beginning?

You laugh now but Berto, Randall Bailey and Joan Guzman are all serious considerations for Canelo. What about Maidana? I don't doubt it :lol1:.

Trout is no wink but he's good enough. Wiky would beat everyone currently Lin the 154 lb division I have no.doubt If he thought that was true he would be doing it.

You laugh now but Berto, Randall Bailey and Joan Guzman are all serious considerations for Canelo. What?? Please explain. Not that I'm surprised but, you know..........

Austin Trout is a poor man's Winky Wright

Canelo should fight Berto. That's the new requisite to fight Mayweather. :lol1: You laugh now but Berto, Randall Bailey and Joan Guzman are all serious considerations for Canelo.

The division is so jumbled I wouldn't feel comfortable in calling any fighter in it 'avoided' I'm agreeing here. It's a deep division & it's safe to say that on any given Friday or Saturday anyone from the top ten could beat anyone else on a given night. Which is why there's only 1 champ in the division that's fought only 1 54 fighter.

Trout will only be ducked by Alvarez and possibly K9. Everyone else would be willing to fight him. Trout is good, but not Winky good. Lara will remain the ducked fighter of the division. The division is so jumbled I wouldn't feel comfortable in calling any fighter in it 'avoided'

except Trout is slower not as skilled and has less pop

Did Canelo duck Winky too? Canelo should fight Berto. That's the new requisite to fight Mayweather. :lol1:

Let's hope Trout doesn't price himself out on a consistent basis like Winky Wright did. I hope not :lol1:.
