Canelo: I will be facing Austin Trout on May 4th

Good to see this happening, I think it's going to be almost all Canelo though. I think Trout was made to look a little better than he is against Cotto, who was really listless and never got anything going. Trout for me doesn't have the accuracy or snap in his shots to really keep Canelo off of him, and he wont want to fight inside in this one.

It's a fight that Alvarez doesn't have to take so we have to respect that. If he loses he is good enough and young enough to rebuild a HoF career.

Not yet decided.

Statement fight for Alvarez. And he'll make one by stopping Trout in the middle rounds

This is a big fight for both guys, really excited & glad to see it happening

I've got Trout out-boxing Alvarez to a UD

@IamInuit,
I think a lot of you are underrating Alvarez and overrating Trout because of his size and win over Cotto, Canelo will kick Austin's ass, mark it down. (no sig bet

)

I find this hard to believe. His management have taken zero risks with Alvarez and he's been let's say carefully matched on his road to a defining fight. Up to now the best boxer he's fought has been Archie Solis. So they're now one fight away from a gigantic Mayweather payday and they're going to risk it by facing Trout? Hard to see.

Hats off to him if it's true.

Not underrating him at all. I'm just not overrating him.

Gomez, ryan rhodes, matthew hatton are respected fighters but trout is a big step up for canelo.

This is laughable

Alot of the people I respect on here picking Trout in this one. I'm going to disagree. I think Canelo is a special fighter and I wasn't impressed by Trout before the Cotto fight. Against Cotto he was great, but part of me feels that was down to Cotto's lack of power at 154 being unable to make a dent. Canelo is a hard puncher at 154 and will be on Trout from bell 1. So I say Canelo by decision but as time draws near I may change this and be bold and say Canelo stops him late.
