    It works because he rarely gets tested against opponents that can expose these deficiencies.

    The three times he's looked very vulnerable: Floyd, Lara, and Bivol all had qualities that expose those imperfections.
    Don’t forget Trout either

        haters don't give him credit for consistently fighting and beating guys bigger than him

        even ¨SWW¨ Charlo was taller and bigger than him yesterday

        he looked like a dward against Callum Smith, you need great skills to compensate for that massive difference in size and reach
        Once you beat a bigger guy. You are now the same size. Casuals can’t believe guys can beat someone bigger than them. If Canelo’s skills were subpar or the competition was better at SMW, you’d never hear the end of “he’s not the same at 168” “he’s too small” etc

        impressive thing about Canelo is he’s beating bigger guys with boxing, not athletic gifts. Also why once he’s being outboxed, he stays outboxed.

          Charlo weighed the same size as Canelo even though Charlo is 4 inches taller. Anyone trying to same Canelo was the "smaller" guy is full of crap. Canelo was the shorter guy, not the smaller guy.

            Unfortunately, Canelo is not as confident as his fans.

            Alvarez is a good boxer with manufactured career.
            Canelo’s team dksab

            that’s why they picked Bivol to begin with. i bet on Bivol. So did Mayweather. It was tjr wrong matchup

              that’s why I believe he beats Beterbiev. With his style power punching guys won’t beat him. Toney fought Sam Peter at hw and beat Holyfield
              yeah right thats why hes been ducking him for years. canelo doesnt want to take a ko loss, he knew bivol would be a decision and he hoped he would steal it which he almost did with re-tardo judges. beterbiev would end him and smash his ego to bits

                Canelo would fight anyone. his handlers got this one wrong


                guys like Usyk and Bivol are wrong for him.


                But Beterbiev is literally right up his ally. Beterbiev wouldn't land a single clubbing head shot and he wouldn't land any body shots due to the angles. Beter would miss badly all fight and eat clean counters.
