If Trout beats Cotto, who should he fight after that???

[Bushbaby]

I don't think Floyd will fight Alvarez until Alvarez fights Cotto/Trout winner or gets a few solid wins against Top 154 lb fighters.

I want Floyd to fight Pacquiao because they are STILL two of the best fighters in the world, as evident by Manny beating Bradley, and yes he did beat Bradley handily and convincingly.

I want Floyd-Sergio, but to say Floyd is ducking a MW is ridiculous. I guess Sergio is ducking Andre Ward then.

Yes Martinez is ducking Ward because he has been twice crowned a 168lb champion.

[Bushbaby]

Should we acknowledge the fact that Pac beat Oscar in a one sided shutout and made him quit on the stool, or that Pac KO'd Hatton in two? Or that Pac KD Mosley, or are these not relevant, and only Marquez is? Did Floyd do any of that? Use some logic, kid.

It's been noted. But what does anything that you posted have to do with december 2012 or 2013??

Yes Martinez is ducking Ward because he has been twice crowned a 168lb champion.

So Floyd should have to fight Sergio 100% but Sergio shouldn't fight Ward at a weight between 160 and 168??? If Floyd could fight Sergio and that's a possibility, than Sergio fighting Ward could be a possibility. That's my only criticism of Sergio, is he calls out smaller fighters but has shown no interest in fighting any of the SMW's at a higher weight.

Martinez called out Floyd at 154, you know where Floyd is a 2 time champion. It's Floyd fans that keep bringing up 160. Meanwhile Martinez has never in his career fought at 168 & has no intention of doing so. The difference is astronomical really.

If Trout beats Cotto, then the sky is the limit.

He has a lot of options.

I'd like to see him fight Kirkland, Canelo, Lara, K9, the list goes on and on.

he has said he would be willing to fight ward for the right money and perhaps a catchweight. not sure what exact articles to link you to them, but i'm sure if you search around, you'll run into one. the difference the poster you quoted is saying is that martinez is willing to come down to 154 (even 150) to fight mayweather, while ward wants martinez to move up to 168. martinez has fought and won titles at 154 while he had never had a fight above 160. see the difference?

If he hasn't seen it now, he won't. (I think he knows the difference, he just won't admit it).

I voted Mayweather but that fight might not be available. I really believe Mayweather will return to his true weight class of 147 and his last fight at 154 was for Cotto only. All of the voting choices would be great opportunities for Trout. If he beats Cotto by a wide margin he would be in a good position to challenge anybody including Mayweather.A fight with Floyd would make him the most money and a win over Floyd would make him the biggest star so I voted Mayweather if he can get the fight.

just because they think it's a safer fight

I don't think that's why Cotto picked Trout and I don't think that's their mentality... I truly think Brundage would be the easier fight.

[sicko]

People shouldn't even disrespect Cotto like that and start to look for opponents for Trout after their match up Let him actually go out and BEAT Cotto first because while I think Trout has a "SHOT" it is certainly no guarantee and it won't be easy to beat Cotto in NY
