    What could Austin Trout do to bounce back from this?

    Big Trout fan and he made it close he alaways does (except Lara) but, i dont know if he can really beat any of the other top guys in the division.

      This was his best shot. Don’t think he has it anymore.
      Maybe get a shot at Cotto’s vacant title or rematch him.

        Taking some tune-up fights to get his confidence back and moving up in weight would be the best decision. He's suffering from the fact that he used to be considered a big guy at 154 now there's guys younger and bigger than him. Charo, Hurd, Andrade and Lara those are all guys who I don't think he can beat so if I was him i'd probably move up and spend at least a year fighting tune-ups before he gets in there with another top fighter. Then depending on what happens with GGG/Canelo maybe he could get one of those belts if he's better at that weight.

            Rematch Cotto and snatch the wbo title, then unify, with Charlo vs Hurd winner, win or lose retire afterwards.

              This was it. First 7 rounds I had.him winning 5 of them then he hit a wall and Hurd started landing big punches. Trout doesn't have the power or the youth to fight that type of fight. Thought he won 6 rounds against Charlos and Canelo, so I'm impressed with Tour's career, but this would have been huge for.him.

                He's had a decent career, but just not able to push on to that next level. He can probably hang around for another year or two and have some competetive eliminators. He doesn't need to become a gatekeeper though.

                  I think if he was gonna do something he'd have done it by now. The Cotto win is likely gonna end u Trout's shining moment.

                    He's really awkward on his feet but it's too late to improve footwork at this point. He's done at the championship level.
