Trouts key opponent is still better than Canelo's key opponent

Tonight, the cinnamon bun will get a taste of reality...

wait, was that before or after he complained about his tooth when asked about a Floyd fight after his second fight with Vargas? What's wrong with taking care of his tooth first before taking on another fight? Tell me exactly.

The answer usually is found somewhere in the middle .... so I say Enzo is the most accurate ..... Mosley according to Floyd was OLD and stated so BEFORE his fight "My game plan will take into consideration that Mosley is now OLD" ..... you have to take advantage of your fighters weaknesses and Floyd was READY to do so ..... he was not before then when he refused to fight Mosley on several occasions. wait, was that before or after he complained about his tooth when asked about a Floyd fight after his second fight with Vargas?

Guess I'm the only one that thinks if Cotto was a little bit bigger he would've caught Trout consistently enough, he just wasn't. Even Trout knew that going into the fight, Cotto a midget at 154. Canelo is gonna catch him and make it hurt.

Trout's Cotto win rapes Canelo's entire resume.

Not according to "real" boxings fans in this site. That's what they refer themselves. According to them, Canelo is undefeated because he fought inferior opponents. That's not what they say about Trout. Canelo is the underdog. You can't take your cake and eat it too. It doesn't matter who I think is going to win or anyone else on this board. Canelo is the betting favorite. That is fact. Ever hear the saying talks cheap? If you want to put down your hard earned money and you want to put it on Canelo, you will be putting up around 200 to win 100.

I dont still dont understand all the canelo hype. Where does the hype come from? Let the kid fight some legit opponents and earn respect, dont just hand it to him.

Those were the odds on the website I made my wager on. To say Austin is favoured to win ls a lie. So you think Canelo wins this fight? In your opinion.... Man, you're an alt and you're still afraid to make a prediction.

My opinion doesn't matter when it comes to the odds. If Trout was favoured trust me his odds would be better than they are. Lads on a messageboard talking up Trout means very little when it comes fight time. Your opinion doesn't matter? You rely on others to form an opinion? Why? Don't you have your own eyes and not capable of analyzing these boxer's past fights? Are those odds based on casual fans' pov or what?

Other than Pacquiao fans, who gives him credit for that win? Mosley couldn't even beat Sergio Mora in the fight before Manny, Alvarez and Pacquiao beat a totally SHOT fighter. They all did (fight a Mosley that was no longer the Mosley we knew) .... Mosley was gassed out early in the Floyd fight.

Canelo is a sizable favourite in this fight. In your opinion why is he a favorite?

That's not what they say about Trout. Canelo is the underdog. You can't have your cake and eat it too. Bottom line is if Trout wins, it's no big deal - he beat a guy with questionable history, according to hardcore fans in here. If Canelo wins, it's an upset.

Good post. I've stated this before, there are many unanswered questions for both guys, we'll find out tonight. I agree .... it also depends if the opponent can figure out the others weaknesses and/or take advantage of their own strength's. Trout was able to take away Cotto's strengths by keeping distance and providing enough movement to keep Cotto away. That said, it may end up being easier to do it with the smaller Cotto than the bigger Canelo ....... Similarly, Cotto at times was able to cut that distance and get at Trout in the middle rounds ...... so would a bigger Canelo be able to do it better and with more consistency ? Although Canelo, like Cotto, fights in spurts which contributed to Cotto's loss. These questions will be answered tonight.

You know what always troubled me? Pacquiao gets credit for Mosley but the very next fight Canelo doesn't? Other than Pacquiao fans, who gives him credit for that win? Mosley couldn't even beat Sergio Mora in the fight before Manny, Alvarez and Pacquiao beat a totally SHOT fighter.

You know what always troubled me? Pacquiao gets credit for Mosley but the very next fight Canelo doesn't? I didn't think anyone gave Pacquiao credit for beating Mosley, really. Nobody wanted the fight in the first place and it signalled the start of Manny's decline. manny is their god ... that's why. You didn't know that? lol and Floyd STILL beat him first and he doesn't get credit either. The answer usually is found somewhere in the middle .... so I say Enzo is the most accurate ..... Mosley according to Floyd was OLD and stated so BEFORE his fight "My game plan will take into consideration that Mosley is now OLD" ..... you have to take advantage of your fighters weaknesses and Floyd was READY to do so ..... he was not before then when he refused to fight Mosley on several occasions.

Resumes don't win fights. This means nothing when they step through the ropes. This!!:boxing::boxing:

Alvarez is a 2-1 favorite. Trout is the underdog.... Not according to "real" boxings fans in this site. That's what they refer themselves.

Canelo beat Jose Miguel Cotto years ago. Oh, you mean Cotto's older brother that fought at LW his whole career and had him on his bicycle in the first round?
