Yes. I was at his fight against Diaz. I think he is the best boxer in the division right now. Still uncertain how he will do when men that walk around at 170 start touching him or not deterred by his punches. Will he be able to keep these jokers off him for 12 rounds?

Yes and No. 5 years ago I agree but Trout just came off the most grueling fight of his career at age 31. And now he's in with a young lion and the most feared puncher in the division. Austin has the ability to beat someone like Jermell Charlo. We've seen Charlo look bad recently when guys chose to box like his fight with John Jackson. I "think" he's gotten better since then while Trout has gotten older. He looked great against Hurd for the first half of the fight but ultimately he took a beating. I still want to see it.
