    I'm agreeing here. It's a deep division & it's safe to say that on any given Friday or Saturday anyone from the top ten could beat anyone else on a given night. Which is why there's only 1 champ in the division that's fought only 1 54 fighter.

      You laugh now but Berto, Randall Bailey and Joan Guzman are all serious considerations for Canelo.

            If he thought that was true he would be doing it.

              Well it's easy to say now that Trout is not as good as Winky. Winky is retired and Trout is just beginning his career.

              But their physical dimensions are very similar and with their styles they don't make you look good.

                What about Maidana?

                  They are high risk-low reward type of fighters. Their defensive stances are different, but both are tall southpaws with great reach and a great jab. Also they are both natural middleweights that can fight (in the case of Winky fought and dominated the 154 division at one point) at jr. middleweight.
                  Was Winky Wright absolutely boring to watch and also have no fans like Austin Trout?
                  Who has Trout fought for him to be worthy of ducking...
                  Step up your game he's hardly fought anybody and he's 27!

                    Just beginning?
                    I think you will find Trout is 27years old and has only had one big name to date that he has fought and even at that Cotto was damaged goods, Margarito beat the prime out of him.

                      What you are talking about? He's young and is entering his prime. He's not a 30+ year fighter.

                      And like I said he hasn't received many opportunities because he's a high risk-low reward type of fighter.
