African American fighters seem to lack slickness within this era 'Jermell Charlo is a African American fighter, but his style is not based on fundamental slickness'.
You can be a great boxer, like Usyk 'But Usyk still does not have that slickness which is associate with certain style of fighting, and it is difficult to identify technically why without in-depth analysis'.
Alvarez has not come within contact with 'Slickness' since Floyd Mayweather Junior'.
Terrence Crawford has shown evidence of having a level of slickness 'Andre Ward had a level of slickness'.
I believe this is what people mean by how Alvarez has avoided African American fighters 'But I don't think he has avoided them, I just don't think the slickness has been as dominant as past era's'.
But Terrence Crawford can be described, and does have that slickness 'It is the same slickness, Bernard Hopkins beat Kelly Pavlik with'.
Bernard Hopkins survived in the latter stages of his career in part due to his slickness.
The slickness is strong within Crawford, but I don't know how strong 'Strong enough to negate weight classes, and defy physics? Because sometimes that is what slickness appears to give a fighter the ability to do' Floyd Mayweather Junior had that level of slickness.
Slickness is broad spectrum ability, and I believe it is a culture thing.
Alvarez has only fought 1 African American fighter who had a extreme level of slickness 'Floyd Mayweather Junior'.
Note: I have always regarded a match up against Bernard Hopkins, to be stylistically a terrible match up for Alvarez 'Hopkins could easily beat Alvarez 12-0 at Middle Weight or Light Heavyweight'.
So overall I don't think Alvarez has avoided a certain group of fighters. I just personally don't see many slick elite level fighters, like we had in past era's of boxing etc.
