Trout vs Martinez/Manny

[Barry Halls]

I think both beats him but a fight vs. Manny at 154 is a fight he can win. I'd favor pac if he's not diminished too much from the Bradley fight.

it would be dumb though. just as dumb as calling Manny a lmw champ.

Beats both

Trout has more skills, but P Williams was way more active than Trout. Trout's punching output is not so good, while Martínez showed that he's capable of throwing over 800 punches per fight.

Trout wouldn't be able to fight as he normally does if he fights Martinez. Martínez is a very awkward southpaw with tons of mobility and a pretty good reach for his stature. According to boxrec he has 3 more inches of reach than Trout, which could easily make a difference. Cotto was missing by less than 3 inches tonight, so Martínez could catch him with punches that Cotto couldn't.

more active does'nt necesaary mean , more effective ...it's exatly the reason why sergio was able to time him being he created to much opening to capitalise on..trout is too smart for that...if trout handles sergios power , he'd exactly do what he does best and outbox sergio ...

what? Trout is a better boxer?

yes , by a good margin too ..trout would never have been outboxed at no point by a darren barker or macklin caliber fighters...

He could beat both but I'm not sure I would bet on it.

When did Martinez get outboxed by Macklin and Barker? That's like saying Trout was outboxed by Delvin Rodriguez and David Lopez just because he lost a couple rounds to them.

Also, Martinez being inferior to Trout is your opinion, not a proven fact or whatever you make it out to be.
