Trout. Trout's too big for Floyd and I'd favor him in that fight. Let's face it, Floyd's pretty damned small for 154 and someone as big and skilled as Trout could beat him based on size advantage.

What's the tougher fight for Floyd Austin Trout or Canelo Alvarez?

Originally posted by -Kev- View PostTrout would box Floyd, Canelo would try to hurt Floyd.
In the end, Canelo probably softens Floyd up a bit even in losing, makes him closer to retirement, or probably makes him want to retire even if he wins.
Trout would do no damage to Floyd, Floyd probably decides to continue fighting after going to 12 with the pillow-powered wonder.
Yeah go ahead and bring up the fight from 10+ years ago when he had a shoulder that required surgery but as far as recently nobody has had success with trying to rough up floyd. Canelo's pressure will be ineffective.

Austin Trout had the power to keep Cotto honest. He's no Paulie. He's longer than Floyd, southpaw, good stamina, good skill, younger & more proven than ginger.

Originally posted by el*** View PostThats exactly why I think Trout would have a better chance than Canelo. When was the last time anyone even won any rounds against floyd by being "physical"? All of the last guys, Zab, DLH, and Cotto won rounds by boxing with a good defense and jab. When has floyd even been "softened up", meaning hurt and tired across multiple rounds?

I agree DLH and Judah did try to box.

Floyd gets uncomfortable with constant pressure and power, Trout has neither of these.
