Canelo has had 42 fights and is unbeaten but his opponents haven’t been great so there’s a big question mark about his ability to handle world class opponents.
Trout totally out-boxed Miguel Cotto in December who had only been beaten by Antonio Margarito (a defeat he avenged by knockout), Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao so there’s no doubt that Trout is a world class fighter. Canelo’s best opponent is Josesito Lopez, who he destroyed inside 5 rounds. Although Lopez is just a welterweight and I expected Canelo to win, I thought the way he dominated Lopez was very impressive.

By Peter Wells (twitter- @boxingpeter): Since shocking almost everyone in the Madison Square Garden last December, Austin Trout’s life has changed drastically. He may not have reached the super-stardom of Floyd Mayweather or Manny Pacquiao, but in upsetting Puerto Rican superhero Miguel Cotto, Austin is now in the position where he calls the shots. 
By Donald Crisp: The match that many of us have been waiting for is upon us. In just a few hours, Austin Trout will set out to prove two things: (1) he is the rightful, undisputed King of the 154 lbs division, and (2) Saul “Canelo” Alvarez can be stopped.

By Chris Williams: WBC junior middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez has a warrant for his arrest in Mexico for an alleged 2011 assault of the 5’3” former two-time IBF light flyweight champion Ulises Solis, according to record.com.mx. Both Canelo and his brother Juan Ramon have warrants out on them in the state of Jalisco.

Canelo in the future.

He’s never going to be considered a mover like a young Floyd Mayweather Jr. or Pernell Whitaker.
