The current WBC, <i>RING <\/i>Magazine and Lineal Middleweight Champion, was last seen in the ring against former four-division world champion <span class=\"xn-person\">Miguel Cotto<\/span> on <span class=\"xn-chron\">November 21, 2015<\/span>, defeating him via unanimous decision.\u00a0 The 2015 <i>Fighter of the Year <\/i>candidate&#8217;s road to stardom began in 2011 with a win over Matthew &#8220;Magic&#8221; Hatton for the vacant WBC Super Welterweight World title, his first title defense against <span class=\"xn-person\">Ryan Rhodes<\/span> and stoppage victories over <span class=\"xn-person\">Alfonso Gomez<\/span> and <span class=\"xn-person\">Kermit Cintron<\/span>. Then in 2012, Canelo defended his belt against future Hall of Famer Sugar Shane Mosley and showed the veteran his first retirement, winning via unanimous decision in 12 rounds. Canelo continued on the path to superstardom in 2013 with a fifth round technical knockout of Josesito Lopez, followed by a 12-round unanimous decision victory over then world champion, <span class=\"xn-person\">Austin Trout<\/span> in front of over 40,000 fans at <span class=\"xn-location\">San Antonio&#8217;s<\/span> Alamodome.
