I know he may be the draw, but he's yet to face someone as good/big as Trout. I think it's safe to say that Canelo is the underdog in this fight...am I right?
Too much good faith.
Either man could have been given the verdict, was a close one, but those cards tell you that Trout was never going to be able to win a decision in the Countdown mah homie. Fix was in. WBC and GBP were never going to let him lose a verdict and anyone who thinks otherwise now is delusional. Crapelo is a mafia.
Looks like my good faith was well placed.
Only one judge was blind as a bat bruh. There were 3 very close rounds that I gave to Trout that very well could've went to Canelo. So 115-112 and 116-111 are viable scores, as I had the fight 114-113 for Canelo. No fix in the Countdown mah homie, just one sorry ass judge that didnt even matter.
Precisioned and very well timed may I not add. Trout has shown the ability to adjust mid fight. But I have not seen Canelo have to do such against ring savy opponents. Ring adjustments IMO are highly underrated. And decide the outcome of numerous bouts if you ask me.
I agree,and people forget how Gomez was getting at Alvarez(Trout is a much smarter fighter)..I think Alvarez has a very good shot to win,but I favor Trout..I also absolutely believe Trout can win a decision as well..
He's absolutely not the underdog.
He's actually a substantial favorite.
If you disagree put your money where your mouth is. This is like buying apple stocks before the iphone came out.
This is from Oddschecker:
Alvarez isn't really that much of a favorite honestly. It's probably more like a -175 to +150 fight but all the money from bets is likely going on Canelo driving the odds in Canelo's favor.
Saul Alvarez (-225)
Austin Trout (250)
Draw (2500)
Betus:
Alvarez (-240)
Trout (-190)
A wide favorite would be like a -600 or -800, a landslide favorite would be on the level of -2000 or -3000
I guess we'll finally see the ginger's chin checked by a guy who's bigger than him for a change. Lets see how well he handles a flush shot to the dome.

that makes no sense. plenty places love boxing and dirty shit still goes down there. Texas is known for crookery in boxing, besides.
Trout doesn't have the clout to knock him out and the promotional forces behind Canelo are too much for even Haymon's clout to topple (assuming Al would even want to impose his influence here, given the prospect of his main guy facing Canelo in a bigger bucks fight). Canelo will get the nod, whatever Trout does.
I unlike you have faith that the absolute best man will have his hand raised, regardless of Boxing politics. I just as you, think that Austin is the better Boxer of the two. We will see come April 20th. The Trout camp has been quiet, and I like that. Its not like we havent seen a derailment in an young fighters career before. I think that there is enough hype and and push for Canelo to overcome a loss to Trout. GBP will simply fall back on the fact that the greats do have losses/blemishes on their records to include JCC Sr. Which will have fans overlook a loss should Canelo take one. It doesnt matter to me who wins as long as the true victor is named after the bout.
Canelo coming off of a Josesito win and Trout coming off of a win over Cotto are leauges apart in talent recently faced, thus I believe they can(and will)play a role in the outcome of this fight. In which I favor Trout, not to mention Trout is the superior Boxer IMHO.

The general consensus is that Canelo hasnt fought anyone. The people who say this usually dont want Floyd to fight him, so use that excuse.
But has Trout fought that more people or someething, as far as i was aware he only fougth Cotto?
But it will be a competive fight, who is the favourite isnt that important, but it wouuld be interesting to see.
I feel the same way. Trout had a nice size advantage against Cotto. But he hasn't fought any top 154 lb fighters. This fight being a toss up, is what makes it exciting. Cotto vs trout was closer then people think. I wonder how Trout handles getting hit like that by Canelo. And Canelo has been stunned by smaller fighters. Should be good.
I have not personally talked to a boxing fan who is picking Canelo. Everyone I've talked to thinks that Trout will win or at the very least that it's an even fight.
I give a lot of credit to Canelo for stepping up to fight Trout and will have nothing bad to say about him if he wins. The fact is that up until now his record has been a joke, fighting old guys and small guys. It's easy to look like a beast when you're beating up Josecito Lopez who has fought almost his entire career at jr. welterweight.
If the odds are for Canelo, then it's really like to lay some money down on Trout because I fully believe he'll win. I don't say that as a fan, just someone with common sense. Problem is, I don't have enough faith in boxing to think that there won't be a fix. There is too much interest in farming a new hero for the growing Mexican fan base and I have a hard time seeing Trout getting a decision (which is how he's going to win).
Well in terms of Cotto he's a easily worn down fighter through the rounds, Cotto isn't much better than Shane Mosley and the last time Cotto fought him it wasn't clear cut who won that.
Delvin Rodriquez...
Although good come on no way is he better than Shane Mosley, I'll stand by that no matter what.
shane was 0-2-1 going into that fight he was shot he was just a name a shell of what he was not the same guy that fought Cotto.
Delvin rodriquez at that point might have been better than shane because shane is shot and rodriquez is better the matt hatton and lopez guys coming up from 147 to fight Canelo

WHAT makes Austin Trout the best opponent Canelo has fought?
Judged on the level of opposition Trout has came against what gives you the right to say that?
Trout is on the same boat as Canelo but the huge difference is Alvarez is alot younger, Trout is what 27/28years old?
Biggest names on his record is only washed up Cotto and then Delvin Rodriquez, that's definitely not the most impressive record around.
Fighting a 40 year old Shane Mosley is more of a challenge than Cotto and Delvin.

I can't tell whether this guy is being serious or what. Hard to believe a boxing fan who watches the sport is actually this dumb and believe this sh1t.

You can't be serious. Mosley drew with Sergio Mora, who in reality whopped him in his last fight.
