WTF? Now a guy isn't allowed to have one good performance in his weight class without NOW being expected to jump up TWO weight classes? Gott Danged Ole Joe still haunts us from the UK. This **** started in earnest the day after Pavlik beat Taylor for the title and Ole Joe called him out and suddenly everyone was doing match ups with Pavlik at SMW before his first freaking defense. Moronic **** is getting quantitatively worse.
160 would be Trout's limit. 168 is really pushing it given his style and lack of power. And despite being a big 154 pounder, he's not that big, nor is he skilled enough all-around to make up for the physical disadvantages he'd be encountering.
