    A win over Cotto trumps those 5 wins easily. Easily. Doesn't matter that he doesn't have a package of wins. Now let's say the Cotto win was a "fluke", even though Trout outclassed him and didn't knock him out. I would agree that he's not the better fighter/better resume if he got dominated by all the top competition he fought. But since every top fight besides Lara then he's been in has been extremely close, he is the real deal.

    Trout > Broner easily. Cotto would have killed Broner.

    So is Hector Camacho greater.....better.....better resume than Hearns?

    I mean he easily beat SRL where as Hearns struggled....

    No it's not 10 fights at 19 and 10 fights at 26 is not the same quit acting like it is. What would be the same thing is if Loma turned pro at 19 and PBF turned pro at 19 then you could compare their first 10 fights. Also if Loma fought Salido at 19 for his second pro fight that would have been truly special but there's no way in hell a 19 year old Loma had he turned pro would have fought Salido that soon and you know this.

    Are you stupid? SRL was clearly shot to pieces by the time he fought Camacho. He was coming out of retirement after being inactive for nearly a decade or some ****. LMAO you would make a ******ed analogy like that. Also Hearns has a deep resume unlike Broner.

    Be honest, you're defending Broner because of a potential win over Garcia by Loma, not because you think he's better.

    A 19 year old Loma would have gotten worked by Salido in his 2nd fight. Salido would have torn his head off.

    I agree and there's no way that the fight would have ever been made.

    Fighters mature differently also Lomachenko was solidifying himself as the greatest amateur of all time and jumped straight into the deep end.

    Floyd never did....he's never taken a chance in his life where the chips weren't stacked in his favour.

    Also if it was that easy why didn't former gold medalists not do the same as Loma?

    Ward never did.

    I just hate when people try to say Loma turning pro at 26 and fighting Salido for his second fight is the same as a guy turning pro at 19 and fighting a guy like Salido. It's not. With that said I think Loma is a special fighter and the very best in the world today but a 19 year old Loma would be destroyed by Salido.

    It can if the resume is weak. Your example was godawful though. Not really surprised since it's coming from you though. You just make weak arguments. Bringing up a SRL coming out of a long ass hiatus as an example of 1 great win on a resume vs a stacked resume is just forfeiting before I've even gotten a chance to respond.

    I have no idea what “a weightless with no weight” means.

    No I'm proving your theory wrong.

    I've never said Cotto wasn't a stand out win but Broner has the better resume tgan Trout....this shouldn't be disputed.

    If I'm wrong post Trouts top 5 wins.
