    Feet aren’t fast

    Suspect stamina so he fights in spurts and often takes breathers

    these two factors make it hard for him to go for broke if down on the cards

      He hasn't any weaknesses at 168.
      Stamina, footwork and jab aren't enough at 175.

        Clownelo will likely never be the same after this beating. His spirit was broken by Russia Malignaggi.
        Don't be surprised if he gets knocked out by a bum or something like that in a comeback fight.

            His slow feet have always been a weakness, it just takes a certain level of guy with a fast style to give him problems/ beat him, its never been any different with Canelo his Achilles heel is his foot speed.

              Showed signs of suspect stamina early on

              People get particularly tired when being beat

                  No gears, Endurance & Movement. That is it.

                  His tactical mind, and single punch & combination punch ability is elite.

                  His defense is not super elite, but it is good 'Especially on the the inside'.

                  But I would not class Alvarez as a all-time great defensive fighter.

                  Note: No gears I.E Alvarez is a one paced fighter. Seems to struggle to throw caution to the wind. If Alvarez has this ability, he would of cause both Mayweather & Bivol more issues etc.

                  Miguel Cotto always appeared to be a one paced fighter, difference was? Cotto's endurance was world class, borderline super elite. Cotto could be unrelenting, shown in fights such as with Zab Judah.

                    Low output because of stamina issues.
                    Resets if you double the jab.
                    Relies on his chin too much.
                    Telegraphs his power shots.
                    Not an elite adjuster.
