Kinda weird that the top 3 guys have basically never faced a real 154 fighter to be ranked where they are. Floyd and Trout are there because of Cotto and Canelo is somehow there because he beat up on old WWs and JWWs
    Canelo isn't really a top 3 JMW though. On a ratings list that is very well respected by me, and a few places, he's no.4 and rightly so:

    The only reason he gets mentioned is because hes a popular mexican fighter. He hasn't beaten anyone top 10 at 154 since Rhodes...... that speaks for itself.

    Sadly, I can see the RING belt being put up for Trout-Canelo, when Canelo shouldn't even be top 3.

      It would be a big fight but a lot has to happen between now and September 2013 or May 2014.

      I still don't see Mayweather fighting twice within a span of 5 months. Second, there's going to be an issue of Pacquiao/Marquez 5 in September falling on Mexican Independence Day.

        I think both legit but i feel that Canelo will show hes a step above Trout. And i would consider it a super fight.

          Looking forward to this fight, I want to pick Trout finally Canelo stepping up. Good fight

            Then he needs to ***in Retire! If he beats Guerrero and doesn't fight Canelo, Trout or Martinez next then retire and go away and let these younger fighters fight each other to see who is the best

            Even if Devon Alexander beats Kell Brook, nobody is all that interested in Mayweather vs Alexander, I hope Kell Brook wins to keep that fight from Happening in September

              Number 4 will fight number 2 for possible chance to fight number 1. Both big draws, both undefeated, Mexico, USA, so yes its a Super Fight.

                Yes i agree, except Lara should not be #3 himself, Molina should.

                  if he knocks him out, then yeah, good for him, if it's a stinker, then it just reinforces the fact that canelo is the most overrated fighter today, the next chavez, jr.

                    The real question is if/when Trout beats Canelo whats next for him? Does he get Mayweather? Or Martinez maybe?

                      It would be the biggest money fight Floyd could make. I think Floyd will pass on Canelo and fight a welterweight like the winner of Brook- Alexander fight for somewhat less money and much less risk. I don't fault Mayweather for staying in his natural weight class. If he fights the winner of the Trout- Canelo fight that would be a bold move for a 36 year old welterweight. If Brook beat Alexander Floyd could make lots of money fighting Brook in the UK. Of course Mayweather always makes big money no matter who he fights.
