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

[Violent Demise]

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

What he said^^^

@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 )

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

You just decided to overrate Trout instead

if canelo fight against mayweather it would be awesome fight.

One cannot be wrong until after the fact or the fight.

Nice try. Thanks for coming out. Lets revisit it May 5th.

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

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.

Up to now the best boxer he's fought has been Archie Solis.

By all accounts though, he beat the crap outta Solis.

Trout frustrated Cotto who does not have the legs he used to, Canelo is young quick and hungry. His left hook is big and at some point Alvarez will figure Trout out and drop him with it. Canelo may not up until know have had the hardest of opponents, but he also has not walked through them. He has learnt in Every fight, from getting tagged by Jose Cotto to dealing with a cut against Mosely he has thought and adapted, improving with every fight. He knows when to finish people off, when to stand and trade, how to cut down the ring and how to box from a distance. Trout's gameplan against Cotto was a stroke of genius but he will not be able to pop in and out against Saul without sustaining much more serious punishment. Cotto ain't completely finished, but Floyd took his fifth gear away and Trout capitalised on that.

Slight difference in weight though.

I think Trout wins the fight and Alvarez gets the decision.

Alvarez should take this one. Too strong. Good fight though.

Saul is the real deal and he will beat Trout. He is the most realistic challenge to Floyd because of his size, youth aNS STRENGTH (Sergio v Floyd fight aside).

I saw Canelo kinda labour with an old shot Mosley - who instead of loosing interest and looking disheartened like he does in most loosing fights, was actually a bit emboldened by the fact that Canelo was fairly easy to find.

I mean Canelo obviously is tough but a good/ awkward boxer might be all it it needs to upset him.

I saw the Shane fight differently, Saul had quick hands and the only thing that troubled Saul was the headbutt and cut Shane caused.

Looks like things have changed a bit here.

Canelo vs. Trout is a Done Deal For 4/20, Says Schaefer - Boxing News

I think this will be the better way to do it, IMO.
