No he cannot. First off, he'll find it difficult to land flush. Second, he's simply not a big puncher. I don't care if he is 170 lbs. At that weight he still doesn't hit as hard as Ortiz, Mosley, Cotto, or Hoya. Trout wiill not be fighting at 168. 160 would be his limit, and he would find limited success there. Trout comes in weighing less than 10 lbs. that Ortiz, Hoya, and Cotto did against Mayweather. That's not a lot. Well, it's pretty obvious that we are on two totally different wave lengths. Now you're saying Floyd's chin is only aveage and that he has questionable endurance. This is a guy who has never been knocked to the canvas and who never gets tired. Guerrero and Ortiz are high volume punchers. Fighting with a high volume against a guy like Floyd will only give him plenty of opportunities to counter you. Trout's activity would be cut down considerably against Mayweather. Castillo and Zab are both better fighters than Trout. And Zab wasn't even a hard fight for Mayweather. Judah did nothing after the 4th round. That's a tough standard when 2 good rounds over 12 rounds equals a hard fight. Speaking of Zab, his reach is just as long as Trout's, he's way faster, and hits way harder. Trout is basically a bigger Guerrero. Trout's style, size,and workrate are nothing that Mayweather hasn't seen before. Trout is not gonna beat a guy like Mayweather. He was outboxed and countered silly by Canelo. He amittedly had trouble with Canelo's adaptability. That should tell you all you need to know about his chances against Mayweather. That's fine, you don't seem to be much of a fan of the sport period.
I said he was too slow and predictable for someone like Floyd. There's a difference. Nothing in his game stands out enough to even consider having a chance to beat Mayweather.
This is a guy who has never been knocked to the canvas and who never gets tired. - Floyd suffered a knockdown from the hands of Judah , You already know this but choose to ignore it . And Zab wasn't even a hard fight for Mayweather. Judah did nothing after the 4th round. That's a tough standard when 2 good rounds over 12 rounds equals a hard fight - The most underrated performance of Zabs career , Correction it was a hard fight for Floyd . Judah def won more than 2 rnds and was beating Floyd at his own game early , caught him with a haymaker also scored a knockdown over Floyd . Guerrero and Ortiz are high volume punchers. Fighting with a high volume against a guy like Floyd will only give him plenty of opportunities to counter you. - Robert is a c level fighter and nothing but a featherfisted brawler , That is not a credible win , Ortiz chose not to throw a lot of punches , but to "box" with Floyd which was not smart at all and led to his downfall in that fight . So we did not see Ortiz being a high volume puncher in that fight That's fine, you don't seem to be much of a fan of the sport period - Why ? Because i choose not be fooled by Floyds so called " Aura of invicibility " Because i choose to disagree with you , So basically who ever disagrees with you is not a fan of boxing . GOTCHA . Castillo and Zab are both better fighters than Trout. Speaking of Zab, his reach is just as long as Trout's, he's way faster, and hits way harder. he's simply not a big puncher. I don't care if he is 170 lbs. At that weight he still doesn't hit as hard as Ortiz, Mosley, Cotto, or Hoya. Trout is basically a bigger Guerrero. How does someone even respond to posts like this ^^^^^^
Mayweather's glove barely touched the canvas. There's a reason I said he's never been knocked to the canvas instead of saying he's never been knocked down. Technically, that should've been counted as a KD. However, he wasn't really hurt and he wasn't knocked off his feet. The first round was a feel out round. Neither fighter did much, but you could give it to Zab. Zab had good rounds in the 2nd and the 4th. He lost the 3rd round and every round from round 5 on. Again, he had two good rounds, the 2nd and the 4th. How the hell is a guy who who's won titles over multiple divisions, and who only has one loss a C level fighter? Some of you guys just pull these things out of your asses. You don't see many fighters being able to employ a lot of volume against Mayweather due to his skillset. He's able to cut down a fighter's activity. It's no accident that pretty much every guy that faces Mayweather throws less punches than they normally do. I was just joking around with you. Relax. All of it is true. For some strange reason you think Trout is a big puncher. He's simply not.

How the hell is a guy who who's won titles over multiple divisions, and who only has one loss a C level fighter? Some of you guys just pull these things out of your asses. - Robert Guerrero could win all the titles he want , when its all said and done the only thing that truly matters is LEVEL OF OPPOSITION . I look at Guerreros resume and that 1 fighter he lossed to and im nowhere near impressed and neither should anyone esle be . All of it is true. For some strange reason you think Trout is a big puncher. He's simply not. I never once said he was a big puncher , if you ask me I will say he has average power as a Jr Middleweight . A jr middleweight with average power has enough pop to hurt Floyd because hes nowhere near a Jr middleweight himself and not even a True welterweight either .
And? The dissagreement had nothing to do with it being a KD. The dissagreement had to do witht he quality of Mayweather's chin. A 17 year career that has spanned 5 divisions, and the only time a KD should've been counted against him was when he was knocked off balance and his gloved barely touched the canvas. I'd say a guy like that has a better than average chin. That's because you lack perspective. You don't realize how truly difficult the sport is. Guerrero has been fighting championship caliber fighters over 5 divisions. He's picked up multiple titles and only had one loss entering the Mayweather fight, a loss that he avenged. No way in hell is he a C level fighter. C level fighters are guys like Antwone Smith. Yeah, well Cotto and Hoya both had better power at JMW than Trout. Neither came close to stopping Mayweather. He didn't even look hurt in those fights. Trout could certainly hurt Mayweather. However, the chances of him hurting Mayweather consistently and/or stopping him are slim. Trout is simply not a sharp puncher.

Guerrero has not beaten not 1 elite fighter . Yeah, well Cotto and Hoya both had better power at JMW than Trout. Neither came close to stopping Mayweather. He didn't even look hurt in those fights.- Ive seen Mayweather/Cotto 2x . Not 1 point of the fight did Cotto land anything flush . Everything that Miguel hit him with was partially landed so therefore we cant really say Floyd "took" Miguels Punches because that would not be the truth . Mayweather did not truly try taste Miguels power . I give Floyd respect for taking Oscars punches , every now and then Oscar would get threw and rock him . He was never close to getting stopped or never close to being hurt . One thing for sure , there was a point in the fight where Floyd was looking visibly uncomfortable and Oscar is the ONLY fighter ive ever seen make Floyd uncomfortable . How do you know Cotto/Oscar has better power at 154 than Trout ? Have you ever been knocked upside the head by one of them ? Trout most likely have more power than them because like i mentioned earlier he started out his career as a natural Jr middleweight . Hes naturally the heavier man . Although Cotto/Oscar both had success at 154 that does not change the fact that they both came up from the smaller weightclasses and were never true 154 pound fighters .
Cottos performance against Mayweather was one of his best in years, he's not going to turn up with the same determination against a relatively unknown like Trout. I think for the Trout fight, he simply couldn't be bothered.
