The next 24 hours should determine whether or not the world sees a unification clash of unbeaten junior middleweights between southpaw WBA titleholder Austin Trout and Mexican WBC counterpart Saul "Canelo" Alvarez as co-feature to Floyd Mayweather vs. Robert Guerrero on May 4 at The MGM Grand in Las Vegas, according to Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer.
Mayweather (43-0, 26 knockouts), of Las Vegas, against Guerrero (31-1-1, 18 KOs), of Gilroy, Calif., already is set.
"We need to know, now, whether this is going to happen or not. Canelo wants to know, and rightfully so," said Schaefer, who informed ******.com over the weekend that the prospects were "looking good for Canelo and Trout."
"So I think within the next 24 hours, we're going to find out one of three things: A) if Canelo is on the card, B) against who -- either Austin Trout or somebody else, or, C) if he's going to fight on his own date. We will find all of that out within the next 24 hours."
In his past two fights, Trout (26-0, 14 KOs) has unanimously decisioned rugged Delvin Rodriguez and four-time, three-division titlewinner Miguel Cotto in June and December, respectively.
Alvarez (41-0-1, 30 KOs) has unanimously decisioned five-time beltwinner Shane Mosley in May and scored three knockdowns on the way to September's fifth-round knockout over Josesito Lopez.
