By Patrick McHugh: Former WBA junior middleweight champion Austin “No Doubt” Trout (30-3, 17 KOs) wonders if Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (48-1-1, 34 KOs) is ever going to fight IBF/IBO/WBA/WBC middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin (36-0, 33 KOs) or not.

The Charlo-Trout fight can be seen on Showtime Championship Boxing. The start time is at 9:00 p.m. ET.
Trout, 30, is starting to get up there in age. If he loses this fight to Charlo, it could take him a long time to reset his career again. As it is, Trout has been rebuilding his career for the last three years since his back to back losses to Erislandy Lara and Saul “Canelo” Alvarez in 2013.
By Dan Ambrose: Former WBA World junior middleweight champion Austin Trout believes that WBC 160lb champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (46-1-1, 32 KOs) will definitely not be fighting WBC interim middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin (34-0, 31 KOs) later this year if Canelo gets past his May 7 fight against Britain’s Amir “King” Khan (31-3, 19 KOs).
Trout thinks that instead of Canelo fighting Golovkin, he’ll look to face the likes of David Lemieux or Peter “Kid Chocolate” Quillin.
Trout believes that the 29-year-old Khan will beat Canelo, but he’s not sure whether the judges will give the decision to Khan.
