    Thurman's style IMO would be a problem for Canelo because Thurman has great movement like Khan but much higher ring IQ, he didn't make the same mistake Khan made against Garcia. He would be even more cautious with Canelo.

    Thurman called out Canelo a while back and team Canelo said that they would rather fight Porter than Thurman. Reason was probably Thurman can move around the ring very well while Porter comes to you.

    I predict Thurman would outbox the slow footed Canelo but people would cry "Run Time".
    Thurman has to set his feet to punch, and Thurman can be hit in between his shots. You add that Thurman doesn't take it all that well to the body, and that he's not flattening elite welterweights with his power, and it'd be pretty tough to see Thurman winning 7 rounds against Alvarez, nevermind the risk of getting knocked out.
