    i've never seen him fight, nor do i know much about the fighters he's beaten.

    how do u think he compares to the other top guys in the division?

    Hes good enough for Mundine to duck...So that could mean he is a world beater or that he has atleast a pulse.

    Special enough to KO mandy henc the reluctance to fight him. Compared to other world class fighters he's a clever boxer with not much pop.

    To be perfectly honest I thought Mundine was a live chance of upsetting him..I wouldn't out and out pick Choc to beat him but I'm not totally sold on him yet.

    Not exceptional in any department really but above average in a couple...haven't seen enough of him against world class opp to see how it all really comes together though.

    Seen Lopez and LaPorto. He's good but nothing outstanding IMO.

    At 154 in 2012 he's better than Mundine.

    Needs to be tested against better comp but he has a lot going for him. Stamina and workrate, where he punches from all angles is a good combo to have.

    He would wreck mundine. I sincerely hope mundine grows a pair just so i can cash in on the fight. Its a mismatch.

    Trout hit Laporto with about 12 million unanswered shots and still needed the ref to stop the fight... He has no power at all.

    Yeah I felt compelled to watch that fight on the off chance that loporto could pull off a fairy tale upset but it was a hideous mismatch. Trout cherry picks out of the confounding wba top 15, laporto being 15, and unsurprisingly, looks good in the process. Hard to make any aassessment by though. Something to be said for reducing voluntary defence to o ly the top 10. Agree whips, he should have been able to get laporto out of there with the volume of punches he connected with
