Good fighter, smart, quick, excellent counter-puncher. Stamina is his weakness, and I think strong, similarly sized opponents will expose his defense and power.
How good is Canelo?

Slick boxers aren't really the issue; Alvarez throws well enough to slow up the movement after a bit, and his work on defense/picking/head movement helps make him not that easy to hit. Those will continue to be close fights, but fights like that are ones that Alvarez's style should edge.
The issue comes with the Keith Thurman-esque fighters; really good movement, solid fundamental skills, counter off of the back foot, potshot, etc.
Should definitely avoid those banana peels, but there aren't enough of that style of fighter that you can't maneuver Alvarez aroundComment
