He's only 26 years old, he got schooled by the best MW in the world and he showed plenty of heart.
What we do know about him is that he got a granite chin, an aggressive brawler personality and is obviously a super middle weight.
I don't buy into the 'all the 168lbers will destroy him' theory. People forget that as he gets bigger and go up in weight it might actually be helpful for him since he no longer have to drain himself.
At 26, Wladimir Klitscho was getting knocked out by a 38 year old part time golfer (RIP, but it is what it is). Now he is arguably a top 10-15 Heavyweight of all times.
Saul Canelo seem like he got even more potential. He's even younger and look overall more skilled. Of course a Fernando Vargas situation can easily happen in which back to back Cotto-Mayweaather or Cotto-Martinez ruin him.
Overall
I think both will actually be Hall of Famer caliber fighters.
