By Dan Ambrose: WBA World junior middleweight champion Austin Trout wants to fight Golden Boy’s star in the making WBC junior middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez, but he thinks there’s some doubt in the minds of Golden Boy whether they should let the young 22-year-old Alvarez face the 27-year-old defensive artist Trout.
After all, Canelo, who Trout refers to as Golden Boy’s “Golden Goose,” hasn’t laid the golden eggs for Golden Boy yet by fighting Floyd Mayweather Jr. or any of the other top fighters. Instead of laying golden eggs, Canelo has been beating a lot of smaller and older fighters.
Trout commented on his twitter “I personally don’t believe that Canelo is ducking me. I do believe that [Richard] Schaefer [the CEO of Golden Boy] and Golden Boy is though. Have faith in your boy, GB.”
