      That's odd, considering Trout doesn't feel that way. Trout is classy, admitted defeat, admitted he was beat by the better man. It's a shame his fans aren't the same.

        People were definitely overestimating him as far as being a skilled boxer.


        He's still a top 5 guy at the weight but I would take Lara, Molina, Canelo and of course Floyd (if he plans on staying) over him.

        Still a great win for Canelo though. Enough to silence his critics for a while.

          Harsh, look how he re-adjusted after getting knocked down. He is highly skilled, maybe not the next Pernell Whitaker but come on.

            I actually enjoy Dwyer's vids. He has the same right/wrong ratio on predicting fights as anyone else. He does give good insight, gives good strategies, and spends a lot of time sharing his opinion with others. He is also a hell of a nice guy. I have had a few conversations with him and he always answers back and yes he loves input from others as long as they are not full of insults.

            So many in here though seem to love to bash anything that does not align with their own thoughts or agendas. Does Dwyer lean towards favoring a pure boxer? Yes he does. He also sees exceptions on that rule with guys like Golovkin, who he believes has a very good chance of cleaning out the entire middleweight division.

            Sometimes it is good to listen to the opinion of another fan even if it is the polar opposite of what you think can happen in the fight. An extra set of eyes and interpretation can quite often save you from making a betting mistake.
