Trouts key opponent is still better than Canelo's key opponent

[boliodogs]

Cotto is better than Mosley today and I have never heard anyone on here say Mosley was better than Cotto. Cotto is better than anyone Canelo has fought. The fight is Canelo vs. Trout and I am picking Canelo to KO Trout in 9 rounds or less. Trout has a good chance to win but I'll stick with Canelo and the fight is just hours away.

You know what always troubled me? Pacquiao gets credit for Mosley but the very next fight Canelo doesn't?

manny is their god ... that's why. You didn't know that? lol and Floyd STILL beat him first and he doesn't get credit either.

Canelo beat Jose Miguel Cotto years ago.

Oh, you mean Cotto's older brother that fought at LW his whole career and had him on his bicycle in the first round?

Alvarez is a 2-1 favorite. Trout is the underdog....

Not according to "real" boxings fans in this site. That's what they refer themselves. According to them, Canelo is undefeated because he fought inferior opponents. That's not what they say about Trout.

Canelo is the underdog. You can't take your cake and eat it too.

I didn't think anyone gave Pacquiao credit for beating Mosley, really. Nobody wanted the fight in the first place and it signalled the start of Manny's decline.

Resumes don't win fights. This means nothing when they step through the ropes.

This!!

The answer usually is found somewhere in the middle .... so I say Enzo is the most accurate .....

Mosley according to Floyd was OLD and stated so BEFORE his fight "My game plan will take into consideration that Mosley is now OLD" ..... you have to take advantage of your fighters weaknesses and Floyd was READY to do so ..... he was not before then when he refused to fight Mosley on several occasions.

Other than Pacquiao fans, who gives him credit for that win? Mosley couldn't even beat Sergio Mora in the fight before Manny, Alvarez and Pacquiao beat a totally SHOT fighter.

Good post.


I've stated this before, there are many unanswered questions for both guys, we'll find out tonight.

I agree .... it also depends if the opponent can figure out the others weaknesses and/or take advantage of their own strength's.

Trout was able to take away Cotto's strengths by keeping distance and providing enough movement to keep Cotto away. That said, it may end up being easier to do it with the smaller Cotto than the bigger Canelo .......

Similarly, Cotto at times was able to cut that distance and get at Trout in the middle rounds ...... so would a bigger Canelo be able to do it better and with more consistency ? Although Canelo, like Cotto, fights in spurts which contributed to Cotto's loss.

These questions will be answered tonight.
