He hadn't beaten anybody. Thats the funny thing. I still picked him to win though.
If you always bet on red sooner or later u are going to win. You pick any fighter thats fighting a rican. You probably said delvin rodriguez was going to school cotto just like u say geale is going to beat Cotto.... GTOH you just got lucky with trout
I gotta agree with Hanz on this one. While I think its a joke that Cotto is keeping his title hostage and fighting lesser opponents at catch weights, and that he's using the resume card to avoid GGG, this isn't a good comparison. Cotto was coming off a loss. Trout was a good opponent for the situation.
People fail to realize that coming off of loses, fighters like to build momentum and confidence by taking easier fights. This was supposed to be just that for Cotto, it just backfired
This is true too...
So... since GGG hasn't beaten any big names and is a "nobody" then he must be as bad as those guys too, right? So fight him Cotto!
You make no sense. You're complaing about cotto fighting guys when he came off a loss.
And Delvin Roderiguez, who has he fought?... damn how did I remember that name.
This is true too...
What's so confusing about cotto just lost to floyd and needed a comeback fight. Just so happened that trout was better than he thought. Are you gonna complain about him fighting delvin also which was after a loss?

Well the thing about the Trout fight is that it was supposed to be a soft touch for Cotto, let's be honest here. Trout ruined that by actually beating Cotto!
Im either reading your post wrong or you missed the video where Cotto says GGG hasnt fought any big names.
Yet GGG is drawing 10000000000000000000x better than Trout did or ever will.

Nobody...Trout then was like Andrade is right now, had a buzz among the Boxing Community more so because of his talent and potential and he proved a lot of US RIGHT the ones that knew he would beat Cotto.
The GGG situation if he doesn't want to fight GGG just give up the WBC title and get the fuk out if HIS DIVISION and GGG probably can just move on and fight somebody for that Vacant Title. Same with Canelo, if you fight for Cotto's WBC title, consider yourself a Middleweight and GGG is NEXT! Or your can drop the title and head back down to 154 if you don't want to fight GGG right now
most of the trout hype came after he defeated cotto to be fair, at that point he was the boogeyman of the division and was supposed to be avoided by floyd and canelo forever... at that point he had a bigger name than andrade has now... but good comparison, both tall, skilled and young undefeated champions at the time...
Question for Cotto and his fans, what big names had Trout beaten prior to Cotto fighting him?
"GGG hasn't fought any big names doe."
And Delvin Roderiguez, who has he fought?... damn how did I remember that name.
I don't see people using Genady's resume as an excuse why Cotto SHOULDN'T fight Golovkin. Not for months. I see plenty of people saying the resume is part of the reason for why he would beat Golovkin.
I'm not partial to either guy, just stating what I've seen people say here.

Who has Erol Spence fought? Would you be shocked if he loses his next fight against a more seasoned guy with a better resume (Garcia I think?)? I'd say most people would ... Not because he's beaten any one of worth or has proved anything in the sport up to this point but because of his potential and how highly some of the insiders speak of him. Kind of the same situation with Trout.
