    Yes. It's the two best fighters in the weight class against each other.

    Canelo has one of the most garbage resumes in the sport for a top fighter. But I do believe he is extremely talented.

    the fight itself doesn't resemble last Saturday's fight but there will be an upset just like nonito. Canelo hype ends soon.

    I don't think it would be an upset if Trout wins.

    There are pluses and minuses with both pairs. Rigo is faster, hits harder than Trout and is clearly the more advanced boxer, but Trout is bigger, has length, he's a lot more active and has a better jab. Donaire is considerably faster than Canelo, much better movement (despite his arguable decline in footspeed) yet Canelo can throw and will throw combinations. And that's a big one.

    Trout behind a jab should outbox Canelo, simply because Canelo's too slow footed.
