Why are people talking about Canelo like he has master footwork?

In his fight vs Golovkin he wasn't bouncing on his feet and looking slick(I knew he wouldnt do that, that's not who he is) He was literally just backing p rope to rope, GGG helped with his jab to draw him back but people that utilize great footwork can hardly be trapped on the ropes. Lomachenko,Rigondeaux,Ward,Crawford, etc Who says that? He just stays in place and moves his waist

You don't need to be moving at 100 mph to have good footwork. Canelo was never the fastest guy with his feet, but his feet were also very good. People assumed that Canelo is 'lead footed' and Golovkin will easily catch him and KO him. But speed =/= quickness. Canelo sat on the ropes moving a bit here and there and was very successful due to quickness. Although, Golovkin could have done much more if he took more risks.

I don't think anyone is saying that. Just because some people feel he can outbox GGG doesn't mean they think he's going to be floating like a butterfly. Canelo earned GGGs respect with his punching power, and he could see most of what GGG was throwing at him, so Canelo doesn't have to employ fancy footwork to outbox GGG, he can move his head and counter him.

Great footwork doesn't only mean how mobile one is, he knows how to position himself properly, which allows him to be the combination puncher that he is. Same applies with Marquez in the later stages of his career.That is why he looked so good against Lara. GGG is not a fast boxer.

So funny that he was known for cement feet. Now dude b using ever inch of ring.

before the fight: canelo has cement feet. after the fight: he was running doe

I never heard anyone say that, He has great hip movement, his defense is in his hips..He learned from the Mayweather fight as that is when his defense improved.. I don't get why GGG fans try to slam Canelo..It just makes GGG look bad as he looked horrible in that fight Exactly this ^^^^^ Everybody knows he doesn't have good footwork

Canelo has great upper body movement and elite counter punching ability. That's why Golovkin was so hesitant to go all out when he had Canelo on the ropes.

Well, Canelo was already moving like that versus Trout. We all used to talk all that s hit about him being easy to hit and boom. He took it to heart and showed us lmao. Agreed with the rest though. Good hip/uppper body movement. More like Toney than Floyd. True his defense did look good against Trout

More like Toney than Floyd in his approach. Floyd is good in the pocket but also has good feet and can disengaged whenever and reset guys easily. I think what he learned from the Floyd fight is being a lot more agressive with his countering ability. He doesn’t just try to go one for one with boxers anymore and actively pushes harder on the counter. And he DOES have good feet. People misuse the term though. Good feet doesnt have to equal Macho Time. He has educated feet, but he’s not fleet footed. His sense of spacing and small movement is great. His feet are very rarely out of place. He’s no Floyd or Rigo or Loma or anything like that, but he doesnt try to be. GGG has good feet too. Doesnt mean he’s loma. Likewise for Mikey Garcia. Just different versions of footwork. At no point was Canelo ever trapped vs GGG and if we’re being honest, Canelo likes to fight off the ropes. All hating aside, he’s probably the best fighter off the ropes in boxing. It’s not a common skill anymore

Who are all these people saying he has great footwork? Why do people insist on making threads like this?

Canelo has great hip movement, that is what makes him hard to hit
