I wanna see williams beat down chris pearson.

I think williams is the real deal ,but pearson is
Overated and protected.

Wiliams 2016 should be pearson and a charlo twin.
That trout fight can be in december .

This is the same Cuell that Alvarez keft 4 dead a few years vack...IMO He' doesn't bring much & certaintly not power...

Edwards mentioned Lara, does that mean they'd take the Lara fight this year in Miami?

I don't know but I don't see him going from a Cuello fight to fighting Lara next - too big of a step up. Trout is trying to rebuild for another title shot and he doesn't want what would be deemed a very tough crossroads fight for him -but would be a good progressive step for Williams.
Nobody really wants Lara. Too high risk/low reward unless a belt is on the line. Credit to Canelo for taking that fight.

I don't understand their position. Trout has fought the Cottos & the Canelos etc. If he's not a shot caller in this situation wtf is Williams??? Who has he fought &/or beaten besides my nephew's sunday school teacher? How does a fight w/ Williams enhance Trout's legacy or position him back toward a Title? Makes zero sense. Williams is the prospect...Trout is the former champion. Not the other way around.
