No Doubt Trout can he become a star in boxing?

[Bushbaby]

He could be become very well known. Possibly in the Ward bracket. But like some have said it depends on who is behind him. I don't think he has that wow factor and unless someone (Al Haymon) comes up with a new way to promote him; I guess he'll fall just short of that "superstar" bracket.

That said if he continues to fight the best dudes and in their backgardens, he could garner some respect and publicity similar to a Carl Froch.

Who knows. Long as he keeps fighting the best and winning, he's got a great shot.

Really looking forward to him against Canelo.

And that's what people don't realize about him that makes me (Dat) much more of a fan.

Rigoberto in Mexico

Cotto in New York

Now canelo in Vegas.

Dude is the new Glen Johnson.

Boxingfans don't like when a fighter is a threat to superstars who campaign around the same weight class. Which is why Winky, the Punisher & Trout are always gonna be just on the outside looking in & not superstars.

why is it about american fighters who are black? overall the i do think its ass backwards becuase the loud outspoken boxers tends to be hated which makes no damn sense ward should be a star right now...

Are you actually buying that BS dude posted? If so that is a damn shame! So tell how were Ray Leonard, Marvin Hagler, Evander Holyfield, George Foreman, Joe Frazier, Tommy Hearns and many more were "loud and controversial".

No tbh he's not a ****y ***** talking thug that people will pay to see lose. that's the only reason a African American becomes a star in this day and age sadly.

Is this a blanket statement for all sports regarding black people or just your opinion for boxing?

I'm sorry bro, but I agree with him. Look at the fanbases that range between Floyd/Broner & Ward/Bradley/Trout & the rest. It's clear as day who has the more fans.

It was almost a shame how the Punisher who traversed 3 weight classes trying to fight the best was hated. Especially when he was mentioned as an opponent for Floyd or Pacman. I don't think I'll ever get over the injustices he went through.

trout is just a good boxer. not a good sales pitch.

So you don't put B-HOP on that list of stars??How about PWill??Dude both those fighters(esp B-HOP)are stars..As big of a star as Mosley,the book is still out on Broner,but he has the potential to be a superstar..But he has to keep winning and that's no gimmie...

I ask can Trout become a star,not a Mayweather or Pac(who are National Superstars)..I don't get why people believe Ward is not a draw or not popular either??Dude sold out a few of his fights in Cali..His fight against Froch did well at the gate and his fight against Dawson..I really think if this kid(Trout)keeps winning he's going to be a star...

paul williams is an excellent fighter... he was never a true star though... do you remember him headling PPV's? I dont.

we're in a new age of boxing im sure those who were deep in the sport back then can see a difference in how fans react to fighters now esp those of different national origins but as many said boxing was popular amongst americans then

Canelo would make him look like a running clown. Trout is young, big, has long reach. Yet he's so scared of getting hit by Cotto's left hook. Never seen an opponent of Cotto that scared. Even Malignaggi traded with prime Cotto. Trout was in full survival mode in that fight and was like trying to ward off evil spirits. His goal was not to KO or punish Cotto like most fighters do. He was there just to survive. Cotto, of course, got tired of chasing the runner. Canelo has more milage and speed.
