Why are people making it out like Canelo is slow?

because khan is that fast. they say his punches hit you before you hear the "ashi" sound. he is a sniper.

Fair enough he can be flat footed but I've seen many people label him as a slow, plodding fighter. In respect to his hand speed this couldn't be further from the truth, watch his fights against the likes of Lopez and you'll see that Saul Alvarez had very very quick hands and despite Khan being quicker (than almost everyone anyway), Canelo has very good hand speed. He's a very good combination puncher who mixes them up and is slicker than given credit for. He has fast hands. Slow feet. In this sport better to have fast feet. There's your "slow." You've pretty much summed it up already.

I agree, slow feet but quick hands and lets not forget, very good upper body movement, which he showed against two good fighters in Trout and Lara. Canelo can make you miss and then pay you back with interest. Problem is, having those slow feet against someone who uses a pop and move strategy makes his fights closer than they should be. Why? Because he often isn't in the right position quick enough to pounce on his opponents.

He has only looked slow against 2 of the best technicians in the game. (floyd and lara)

Pretty simple. Slow feet Average 1 punch hand speed Fast combination speed Solid iq speed Solid refelx Pretty much if you stay still or go rt to him his speed he does have looks better

It's not slow, it's called hate.

He's pretty quick with the hands just slow on the feet and thats because he digs his feet when her punches

He is ducking GGG and he moves slower than a turtle.

I would hope that the people saying he's slow are referring to his foot speed, because he is slow of foot. Saying he doesn't have good hand speed would be wrong, clearly he has fast hands.

His feet are slow and I know why. His vagina is slowing him down, dude is the biggest pvssy in the game. He goes after a fvcking welterweight instead of fighting Golovkin. How ever unlikely it is I hope Khan embarrasses him. Its probably too much to ask for a knock out but i would settle for a 12 round ass whooping.

When people say slow, they're referring to Canelo's footwork, which is exactly that - slow and plodding. Fast hands, but he's a plodder on the feet. Yep. This right here.

He has good head movement and good hand speed but he walks like hes moving through cement

Canelo is one of the most under appreciated fighters in the sport. People genuinely talk as if he's just a big guy with power. The reality is that he's very skilled, he's a great counter puncher, his hand speed is very good, his defence is now very good.... Ultimately, there's a lot of people who don't like him and in turn talk nonsense.
