will that lift him to no.1 at 154? His resume would be far better than Mayweather's at 154 if he wins. Currently, the ratings for 154 are solely based on resume more so than actual wins against eachother.
I'd put Trout at no.1 if he wins, ESPECIALLY knowing Mayweather's next fight is at 147
he's got to beat floyd mayweather junior for that. when trout beat cotto he was not the top ranked jr mw. floyd mayweather was the top ranked guy int he division after beating cotto, who was at the time the top ranked contender to a vacant lineal championship at 154.
the winner of the trout and alvarez fight ideally should fight floyd mayweather jr. the winner will be the new lineal champion at 154, as the fight would be a box off between he 1 and 2 guys for a vacant championship.
And if Floyd doesn't fight him, then what?? Wait on Floyd to retire, or vacate?? I don't think for a 2nd anyone can pretend like Trout wouldn't fight Floyd in a heart beat.

If trouts beats canelo, we all better say our last prayers, cause fires gonna rain from the sky and water will turn into blood.
Do you want to bet on the Trout vs Alvarez fight?
Who said Floyd's #1 at 154? You don't get that from beating Cotto.
What do you get it from then? Beating Spinks? Getting a very weird DQ win over Molina?
Most of the top guys at 154 haven't fought elite opponents in a bunch.
