How would Mayweather fair against Austin Trout... Canelo did impress me in his fight with Trout, the only downfall was the Stamina but even with that; he did win the fight... Yes, I know that styles do make fights.... but how do you view Mayweather vs. Austin Trout at 154 pounds.... no 152 Catchweight.
Floyd would be too fast for Trout. Trout lacks a big left hand. Trout's size would be his only advantage. Floyd's defense would pick off Trout's poo putt punches, and Floyd's movement would be enough to decision Trout.
Floyd would never fight Trout but if he did it would also be close and technical, Trout is a nightmare for anybody at 54 right now.
Trout has a better chance of beating Floyd then Canelo does based on styles. Faster feet and hands with a high work rate.
Trout has had his 15 minutes of fame.He is not entertaining and his only true attribute is his size in the 154 division.
Their styles are completely different. Trout is a tall, south paw come forward aggressor and Mayweather is a small back, orthadox back foot pot shotter.
Trout would pose some problems for Floyd, some big problems at that. Floyd by decision, although it wouldn't come easy.
Trout can't punch, and he's not as fast as Mayweather. He's not a better boxer than Mayweather. Mayweather would win decisively.
Mayweather would fry the Trout, wide UD or late TKO. Trout will not be able to land on Mayweather cleanly as Mayweather floats behind the jab, quick feints and counter right from the roll. Bigger man gets humiliated.
