With regard to Canelo, in my opinion, he should fight Cotto next, as opposed to Austin Trout because it's a gradual progression of better quality opponents. So far, he hasn't been in a fight remotely close to being an even fight on paper and he hasn't faced anyone in the top ten in his division. To go from that to Austin Trout seems like a jump that could end in disaster. He needs to face a guy from the bottom of the top ten next like Gabriel Rosado, James Kirkland or Zaurbek Baysangurov, and then move onto Austin Trout, Erislandy Lara, or Vanes Martirosyan.
