Trout beat Cotto WAYYY more convincingly than Mayweather!

That, and controlling the center of the ring and using uppercuts that became increasingly effective as time went on. That said, a case could be made quite clearly that Cotto was even with Trout in the first half of the fight, and he was forced into a situation where he had to play catch-up from the start against FMJ.

Either way, a good win for Trout..when judged on its own merits.

 

LOL how come then? Both fights happen in the same year

Did Floyd fade Cotto out in their competitive match?

Told you guys Trouts gonna beat him... hahah

 

It doesn't matter even if he KOs him.
Time has passed by
2012 is different from 2009

 

Trout is the real 154 champ, Floyd has no business at this weight

 

Just like with any other sports, you train for the opponent. I am pretty sure Cotto put more effort in the Floyd fight.. Just a hunch.

 

The pre fight video should let you know all that you need to. Cotto was crying talking about wanting to see his children grow up and stuff and how he most likely wants to call it a career.

 

Then who do you have as favorites over him?

 

I think Mayweathers performance was better and that the fight was a little bit closer but this was a great great win for Trout he has a bright future

 

nah, I was even surprised Cotto still came out competitive against Floyd
I expected Floyd to embarrass him or at least dominate him in that fight

 

So does it mean that Trout is now a fair opponent for Floyd?
or is he still not good enough....

 

I don't think so. I think Trout still has what it takes to rise up

 

Margarito's so lucky he got the best one.

 

The Cotto era has long been overdue, that's the thing :deal

 

na trout fought him 6 months later.

 

been having the same assessment regarding cotto even before the loss to trout, he is good but not great, he is blessed at least he won 3 titles in 3 different divisions.
