      I remember when he was the truth if he beat Trout, then he wasnt, and then if he beat Angulo who was going to decapitate him, then he wasnt , and now if he beats Lara he will be....then he wont be

        Two of my personal favs, that would be crazy. I would favor Canelo at this point and time.

          To be fair, he beat the brakes off Angulo. And the Trout fight was close. Trout isnt great but he is solid. Both are better than Soto Karass and Zavek.

          Plus i never put Canelo on any pedestal
          I had him winning but yeah it was close, the argument Trout's way was compelling too. Since then Trout has been properly outclassed, so too Canelo. At this point neither are one of the best in their division.

          Right now, we know Canelo is better than Angulo and roughly even with Trout. Not much more than that.

              Original pioneer fan of Keith Thurman and I would love to see this fight eventually but let's get a title shot first at WW; a damn shame no one wants to hand out the opportunity. As a measuring stick I wouldn't mind Angulo VS Thurman first I'd bet he stops him mid rounds Keith is a undetected big WW.

                Styles make fights. When Canelo fought Austin Trout, he not only surprised us the fans by out boxing Trout, he surprised Trout as well as I'm sure Trout was expecting Canelo to come straight to him.
                Because Canelo fought in a style that we're not accustomed to, we fail to see what he did. He caused Trout to miss a lot, frustrated him, and every time Canelo would land he'd land the heavier more compelling blows. Let us not forget he put him on his trunks when both were fighting in the center of the ring. The fight was close, but it was a clear victory for Nelo.

                  54 will be in Canelos rear view by then.

                    I think Canelo is already looking for an excuse to blame weight for his next loss and move up to Middleweight...Thurman better hope he can get Canelo next after Lara

                      If Thurman is looking for a big fight, he could tell Al Haymon to call Bob Arum and he can get brutalized by Pacquiao if he wants...
