I guess this is Canelo's Way of hinting at who he wants his next opponent to be on May 4th. The obvious choice being Cotto, but last time Canelo was publicly reported ringside for a fight in which included the fighter he intended on facing, that fighter was upset, thus him having to settle with the lesser name winner (hint, hint), so Cotto better watch it. This also fuels the rumor of Mayweather being in talk with GBP for a fight with Guerrero, while Sergio Martinez is looking to make his ring return in his home country of Argentina, so all in all Canelo may have no choice but to choose the winner of Cotto-Trout.

I don't have an issue with Canelos less than impressive resume'. The kid is only 22. I just think he has a lot of talent and a lot of flaws, as does Cotto. That usually makes for great fights. There's so many question marks in a Cotto vs Canelo fight. Who will be the aggressor? Will Cotto's jab pay huge dividends as we know it has in the past? Will Cotto get overwhelmed by Canelo's speed and power? Will Canelo be overwhelmed with the mystique of Cotto and the fact that this will be the first time he's fighting on a big stage and the opponent still has a lot left in his tank? Who will go to the body more and who's body punches will be more effective? Was Cotto's performance vs Mayweather off of adrenaline or is it proof that he's fully resurrected his career? Will the torch be passed or will the young pup get schooled? It's just a very intriguing matchup to me. Good for boxing.
