Instead of hating who Floyd "wants" to fight, take it to the source.

[el_mas_chingon]

one is also better suited for Cotto b.c of size but thats besides the point. no one in this thread has come with even a decent rebuttal to larry's posts just a bunch of excuses, however, they are claiming Larry is the one with excuses. bwahaha

Forget Cotto and Trout, How can you justify a crappy fight vs Alexander, answer me that? I posted earlier why Guerrero in my opinion deserved the fight over Alexander but tell me why the guy that put up a stinker vs Bailey would be such a great fight vs Floyd on Cinco De Mayo?

[Ray*]

You what? GBP just need to go ahead and make a Canelo fight with Trout. Announce it and get that sheet over with, Both need to fight each other before they can be a legitimate challenge to Mayweather not just by beating one fighter, I like trout but why would Mayweather fight him? He doesn't represent a challenge IMO and he doesn't bring anything to the table legacy or money wise, Canelo does bring money and hype to the table and the more reason I would this two to fight each other for the world to see and judge them better in the way they would compete against Mayweather.

[Lorily]

no i want you to tell me..you just said floyd will no fight anyone who is a challenge right??yet trouts only meaningful win is against the same cotto floyd had just beat..so why does trout get praised?

well you just said floyd wont fight any good fights...yet he just fought cotto right

you are the one who just made this thread claiming floyd will not fight a competitive fight..yet you praise trout for fighting the same damn guy floyd just fought..do you not see the irony in that?

So let's get this straight. When Mayweather beats Cotto, it's a spectacular win - when Trout beats Cotto, it was nothing special? That's hypocritical. Doesn't matter who they both fought previously, they both fought the same guy, yet you can't seem to decipher if Cotto is a great win or if he isnt.

make up your mind man

Now that IS irony.

A boxing fan would know.

it's because he's not canelo alvarez.

if austin trout and canelo alvarez switched places you'd hate trout because he's a cash cow. it is what it is: completely irrational.

[Larry the boss]

If Floyd was fighting Paulie, Larry would've just made ******ed excuses and while making his typical dumb threads

"Has any one in the history of boxing gotten this much hate for unifying their division?"

"Yall woulda hated no matter who he picked!"

"Floyd aint neva gonna get credit"

"Paulie a champ, Floyd cleaning out his division"

There's literally nothing Floyd can do to ever get any criticism from Larry

Paulie is a legit champ who beat a champ for his title..so yea it would be a legit fight

[The Big Dunn]

I mean we all do it. I dislike when people mention ginger as an opponent. Being he's ducked his entire division & is nothing but an unproven hype job.

Now there are some that are hating on the Ghost, saying he's a lightweight or what has he done.

Then there are those that bash Alexander saying he should have 3 losses & doesn't deserve it.

But the fact is, there is no one in boxing right now than can "choose" Floyd. He's the 1 who chooses who he fights, when & if he does. He isn't gonna (choose) the competitive fight. He's gonna choose the easiest fight for the biggest payday. It's not the opponents fault. You fall in line & pray for your shot. But if you actually pose a real threat expect to be ignored entirely.

Devon, the Ghost & even ginger are not bums. They're just the guys Floyd knows he can market & manipulate to a calculated victory. Notice Floyd never mentioned Trout & had ton loads of excuses for Martinez....I rest my case.

your a goddamn crybaby sometimes bush. Ghost is his ww mandatory and floyd has shown he will only go to 154 when the money makes up for the weight he is giving up. Trout doesn't provide that money so get over it already.

As for Martinez, your point has little to no validity. You argue that floyd should fight Martinez for the challenge, but unless the fight is at 160, we have no idea how Martinez would perform at 154, 152 or 150. So

Its ****ing pro boxing. its a job. you do this to get paid. you don't like floyd much and you hate the fact that he worked his way to the top. AT this point in his career he makes the same fights that any other 36 yr old makes. How many guys are making the most challenging fights at this age. who? GET OVER IT ALREADY!!!!!!

NO pro boxer fights for challeneg they fight for money. Sometimes the most \challenging fights provide the most income, sometimes they don't. If you don't like this go watch amatuer boxing and stop your incessant whining.

[Mercdoc98]

yet another " no risk" painful to watch choice by Gayweather. Most chicken **** boxer in history. Why do you think nobody ever mentions him as an all time great? because he has no guts

[New England]

Trout's win over Cotto makes him a more accomplished fighter than Canelo and arguably Alexander.

trout UD cotto is a better win than either alexander or canelo has on his resume. no doubt.

Now that IS irony.

no you're missing the entire point..i have no issue with trouts win over cotto..but bush bashes floyd yet praises trout for the same damn cotto fight...even tho floyd beat him first and has several more good to great wins..trout beats cotto and all the sudden he is a threat and floyd fears him???really?

[techliam]

Why would he mention Trout??why are you so big on this guy??his resume is full of nobodies..yet he beats the same damn guy Floyd beat and all the sudden he's a threat to floyd???you just said floyd doesnt take competitive fights yet you praise trout fir fighting the same damn guy he just beat

And Martinez is a damn Middleweight and has a fightcoming up with Martin Murray at middleweight

Trout has a better resume at 154 then Floyd. Yet Floyd is regarded as no.1 at 154. That's why.

Not to mention, he fights taller, rangier and theres no proof whatsoever that Floyd can mix with bigger guys like that.

But please provide me with some fantasy information as to why you think Trout is noone. Thanks
