No dude, Trout is an awesome fighter. Anyone that makes Cotto look pedestrian and loses a very close fight with Canelo is going to be relevant for as long as he wants to. Trout is definitely a very good fighter, and he'll be very hard to beat again.
That is a pretty good comparison never even thought of that, I think fans avoid this comparison because it shows them to be hypocrites if they say Canelo won but Broner lost But Trout was landing better shots then Paulie, Paulie was mostly punching at Broner's Guard, I can't remember a punch form Paulie that landed to Broner's head besides a few jabs
