    What fighter has Lara legitimately lost to? The guy probably has the best resume at 154.

      what i'm saying is if we're going to slap this label of "superstar", "floyd's toughest opponent in decades!!!" then canelo needed to show more than what he did against trout. because honestly he was very unimpressive with his poor stamina, his tendency to be flat footed and allowing his opponent to just steal rounds away from him ...

      it's just ridiculous the kind of hype this kid gets......

And if you think his defense is great than Floyd must be god of the ring. Trout beat a shot Cotto and that was an even fight through 8. And all the Canelo haters hyped him up because they thought Canelo would duck him. But he didn't and we haven't heard **** from him since. Rightfully so.
          Trout's jab would give EVERYONE problems. It's fast, it's accurate, and he keeps pumping them out at a steady face while moving combined with his footwork, defense and exceptional range for a 154lber

          combined with the fact that he's a southpaw. His style and the whole package make him a very hard fighter to beat. He might even beat Floyd. He has all the tools to beat Floyd. Not that FLoyd would ever fight him, he's too much of a risk.

            If by accurate you mean not landing it than fine. He's accurate.

                Now that he won, Trout is a joke of a fighter.
                god forbid you change your opinion on a fighter after watching them perform poorly.

                  Trout knows how to control distance, and he knows how to bluff his opponents into thinking that he's gonna come forward only to maintain a distance. His jab is not that good, it's not authoritative, he doesn't step in with it. As a matter of fact Trout simply does not commit to his punches, he's too focused on pulling out as oppose to landing anything solid. He is a good fighter though, but he's flawed, very effective at what he does but he has flaws.

                    If by hundreds of jabs you mean 59/426= 16%. Then yes he landed hundreds of jabs.

                      He couldn't do anything with his jab against a tired Canelo, please save it. His jab is not that good.
