    The only thing that concerns me is all the energy he is putting into golf. Perhaps he isn't hungry to live the fighter lifestyle anymore, with all the money he has earned.
    If he had learnt from the loss to Mayweather. He would of improved his stamina, and gears.

    It was lack of stamina, and lack of gears once again which lost him the fight to Bivol.

    I don't think Alvarez really improved that much since Mayweather. He has been facing bigger fighters, but not better fighters.

    Billy Joe Saunders, Caleb Plant, Liam Smith are not on the same level as Miguel Cotto & Sugar Shane Mosley skill for skill etc.

      Canelo beats the **** out of Charlo sorry. Charlo will run like a ***** after he feels those body shots. Andrade looked like crap against that bRit. Hes a runner too. Benavidez will be a good fight with Canelo, but he is too wide open for big shots. Charlo dont have any character either. He will quit or hold like crazy .

        Canelo learnt a lot from Floyd.

        His head movement improved after that fight and he also started to use more catch-and-shoot counters.

          Its clear Canelo is too small for 175 lbs and thus skills won't carry him any higher. He is a big puncher yes but he is not the only one. Canelo is an 160 fighter imo even tho he seems to campaign at 168

          He is unbeatable in 168 downwards he is just losing to guys at 175 or higher
          He never would have gotten this multimillion dollar deal with Campbells if he had won! Being a household name is numero uno mi amigo!

              He did not learn enough mate. Like I said, the same reasons why he lost to Mayweather 'Unearthed themselves against Bivol'.

              His endurance was under par, and lack of gears.

              Alvarez has always had decent head movement, and good counters etc.

                did he really learn much?? looked the same to me against bivol, just plodding around out of ideas after he couldnt get his shots off in first few rounds
