Despite a weight advantage over a lot of his opponents, Canelo Alvarez only ever looked slower than Amir Khan in the ring who is indisputably the fastest boxer in history with the fastest hands ever. Especially in terms of combinations. And there's no shame in that for Canelo Alvarez! Nobody can match Amir Khan for speed. Not even any of the boxers below welterweight. Speed is almost purely the only thing that has allowed Amir Khan to be as successful as he has. If he had more elements to his game, then he would've been close to unbeatable with only a handful of boxers standing much of a chance at beating him.
Other than that, Canelo Alvarez has made pretty much every other opponent look like they move in slow motion. Including Miguel Cotto, Gennady Golovkin and Shane Mosley. Almost to the point where they look like they are uncoordinated stiffs that exist in a different time frame altogether. Canelo Alvarez may just be the fastest middleweight and light middleweight in history!
To me, despite being much bigger in size and heavier, Canelo Alvarez puts Vasyl Lomachenko to shame when it comes to SHEER speed. Even foot speed perhaps. Since Lomachenko only looks flashy but Canelo Alvarez is far more impressive technically and in terms of effectiveness.
Lomachenko looks like he has weights in his arms. That's how slow the poor little guy's hands look in comparison to Canelo Alvarez who's punches only appear to be blurry and are barely visible to the naked eye.
In addition, Canelo also has power unlike the feather fisted Lomachenko.
Just rewatch / watch Canelo Alvarez's punches against Gennady Golovkin and then look how much faster his hands are in comparison to Vasyl Lomachenko's slow ass punches against Guillermo Rigondeaux like as if Lomachenko's hands were stuck in mad and he was struggling to pull it out.
How can anyone not like Canelo? He is everything all wrapped in one. He has lighting fast hands, ko power, nimble and quick feet, he is white, he is Mexican, he is a Ginger, he's a cheat, he's a clean fighter, he's the greatest person since Jesus. Some even rate him over Jesus, but I don't think he's quite there yet.
Because Canelo Alvarez is a natural welterweight. The fact that Golovkin couldn't even do anything to Canelo, despite it being Canelo's first fight at 160 pounds proves how weak, feather fisted and powerless Golovkin is. Golovkin is the worst middle weight CHAMPION in history!
Preach, man. You know the truth. Even those chumps... err sorry I mean champs.. Danny Geale and Pepe Le Pew were better than Lil G!!
Canelo deserves massive props for willing his body to thicken and strengthen through his 20s just so he could move up and take extra challenges. What a guy! All hail the Ginger King!!
Deontay wilder has the fastest hands in boxing
I agree, Deontay Wilder would beat Alvarez any day of the week, even considering Alvarez weight advantage!
:rofl: But how come Manos del Rayo couldn't beat the worst Middleweight in history, man (that'd be Golovkin for the uninitiated)? I think he musta been carrying GGG cos he knew there was $$$s in a rematch. Whatchu reckon?

Amir Khan doesn't even have the fast hands currently in boxing. Canelo could hardly catch an aging Mayweather. I mean, he got clowned by Mayweather because he missed him by a mile. I guess the OP is grading their speed on a curve.
Manos Del Rayo was Salido? It was a DRAW. That means neither boxer won.
Now that was an unexpected reply. I'm entirely at a loss as to how to respond.
EDIT: OK, man, firstly my post was entirely frivolous. Secondly 'could not beat' includes the possibility of a draw. And finally, no, Manos del Rayo (a hopefully not too inaccurate translation of Hands of Lightning - a play of course on Manos de Piedra) is a playful pun based on the TSs contention that Canelo has the fastest hands in the sport. How could I possibly be refering to Salido when he has never even fought a Middleweight?
