A 22 year old is willing to face Trout, but the not the so called 'P4P' King?

    Laz, you're dumber than a bag of hammers, much like your hero Khan.

    That's pretty much it.

    Although I do understand Laz's point that if you claim to be the greatest boxer of all time, you have to do the kind of stuff Laz is mentioning. But since we know Floyd isn't the type of guy who'll go out of his way to risk the toughest challenges in his own division, he's hardly gonna' do it for the one above. And considering his age, it's a bit too wishful to expect him to fight both the number 1 and 2 one after the other.

    No, really, that's you.

    Canelo is a big payday fight.

    I don't, but that's not what I care about as a fan. Sure, that's being more realistic, but would you have want to have seen Floyd potentially face both guys?

    And yet, there's been no justification or acknowledgment of perspective, just a whole load of questioning and pointless comparisons.

    Thank you! Honestly, if there's one guy who will take two perspectives into account, it's yourself Rico.

    I'm stupid but you're the one who started a thread on a boxing forum bitching about one of the best fights that can be made in boxing actually happening.:lol:

    Serious inability amongst a fair few of you two understand another view. Not that it can be helped, most of you have to resort to name calling or severe questioning which leads to absolutely nothing.

    Look at Guerrero's and Trout's boxrec and tell me who has done more to deserve a fight with Floyd.

    Had you seen Trout fight before Cotto? What did you think of the Delvin Rodriguez fight?

    What fight has more upside commercially?

    Do you think Trout vs Floyd is a good, fan friendly fight?

    Im willing to bet good money he never seen Trout before the Cotto fight!

    He probably never even knew who he was.....watch him try to claim otherwise!

    I watched a little of the Trout/Del Rod fight, but I had to turn it off :oops:

    I attempted to watch the whole thing a second time, but couldn't

    I watched it live. Definitely not Trout's finest moment.

    But Trout is not, that's what I'm getting at. Trout needs to do something to earn the Mayweather fight in the eyes of many.

    Who's to say Trout and Canelo don't have a very close fight? Just because one of them loses to the other doesn't mean they're automatically dismissed from facing Floyd in the future.

    Fighting Trout really would move Floyd up the ATG list:roll:
