    :lol: Naw, that ain't what I mean. Trout was cherrypicked by Cotto. Just watch the ShowTime all access pre fight and you will hear that Trout was handpicked. I am just speculating on this part but I think Cotto wanted another belt before he faced Canelo and he had two choices, Trout or Bundrage. He knew Bundrage could knock his ass out in any round and would ruin his money shot with Canelo. His other choice was Trout who he believed was a weak punching boxer whom he could walk down and probably knockout. Trout had other ideas.:lol:

    Bundrage is a terrible fighter and would have been the easier fight of the two. I think a lot of people would disagree with you that Cotto ducked Bundrage.

    I don't know how a guy who fought prime Margarito, prime Pacquiao at a catchweight, prime Clottey, prime Quintana, Shane Mosley, and Floyd Mayweather, would be scared of......Cornelius Bundrage? And Trout was a cherrypick?

    Doesn't his reputation come from going on the road and getting robbed against top fighters? I Didn't even care for Johnson's KO over Jones.

    It's called the law of averages, He wasn't scared of Bundrage but Bundrage posessed a game changer with his power and it was a risk that he didn't have to take beng that Trout didn't pose that threat , he was the logical choice. Now, like I said, the statements I made (other than the one about Trout being hand picked) are just speculation on my part and I don't claim them to be facts.:bbb
