Austin Trout: Cotto's Unlikely Savior

Let's get right to it: Everyone seems to think a Cotto-Canelo fight is not happening this year so Canelo doesn't count. And with all this talk about legacy, meaningful fights and money fights, fighting Marco Antonio Rubio doesn't make any sense either. So who are we left with? Austin Trout. Fighting Trout is just the type of non-PPV, stay busy fight Cotto needs right now. The fight can be sold as Cotto wanting to avenge a loss and if successful, could act as a foreshadowing of-sorts for a potential Mayweather rematch. Cotto is putting the finishing touches on his legacy and attempting to avenge all of his losses (except maybe the one against Pacquaio due to catchweight reasons etc etc) would be a great way to go about finishing his career. I mean who could fault a fighter like Cotto for wanting to avenge a lost? ;) Seriously though. Golovkin has said he is willing to come down to 154 for a big fight, so Cotto really has no excuses for not fighting him this year. Cotto should just drop the belt if he wont fight Golovkin. Or fight Trout. At least by fighting Trout he could save face. Fighting anyone else, at this point, can't be justified.
