    Now all that's left is for Canelo/Floyd to happen. And true to myself, I'll ride with the Ginger if it gets made. Cong**** on a job well done kid!!
    Sweet, glad to see you gave him his due respect.....big props for that. It's a shame some others are still searching for excuses for the win.

    It was a great fight and Canelo showed some aspects of his skill set that he hadn't shown yet. Trout will pretty much beat anyone else out there at 154 and has nothing to be ashamed about at all. He showed true character and class in the post fight interview, I respect him big time for that interview.

      Trout missed a lot, but Canelo looked like s**t in the sense that he fought hard for about 30-45 seconds a round. And there were many many many times, which no one wants to talk about, that Canelo missed his shots.

      When Canelo pressed Trout, he got turned and didn't really have much success trapping Trout into the corner/ropes. When Canelo didn't press him, he laid on the ropes and didn't punch back hardly ever.

      I don't know. I left the fight feeling let down by both guys.

        Yeah, just playing devils advocate. Only time will tell just how good either man is. Pretty much the only thing I was impressed with from canelo was his head movement, seemed to make a big improvement there. But it was a good competitive fight.

          I said 3 years ago that Canelo vs Mayweather would be biggest grossing fight ever in boxing. People laughed at me as OBV Pac vs May was the biggest but....Who is laughing now ???

          Austin Trout is an excellent fighter and I for one would love to buy a ticket for his next fight if it is anywhere near me. He makes good fights and comes to WAR even as a slick boxer with average power. Canelo is just a beast. Love the fact that both had the balls to fight each other.

          Canelo is getting even better...scary thought.

You can't beat Mayweather taking off 2: 30 a round, landing 2-3 eye catching punches, because the rest of the round Floyd is landing eye catching punches.

            In the words of Roger Mayweather.....Floyd will ring tap that ass down the stretch. You can't gas out after 4 rounds, and not fight hard the entire fight, to beat Mayweather. Castillo fought hard every second of every round against Floyd, gave him no room to breathe.
            lol "keep doin whachu doin" Roger Mayweather who Floyd has just dropped for his real coach.

            The Floyd that fought Castillo isn't the 2009-2013 version. This version walks towards his opponent and stands in front of him.

                Canelo is a very good fighter. Wasn't even a doubt in my mind about him before last night. Just thought Trout would win.

                  Props for being a good sport and giving Canelo credit.
