    Is Canelo Alvarez the fastest boxer in the world today pound for pound?

    In terms of overall speed of movement such as hand, feet and upper body movement speed?

    Canelo Alvarez looked so fast against Gennady Golovkin that he made Vasyl Lomachenko look slow, flat footed and uncoordinated. To the point where Lomachenko looked like he was moving in slow motion in his last 3 bouts compared to the high speed Canelo Alvarez displayed against Gennady Golovkin.

    Or was it because of how bad, slow and uncoordinated Gennady Golovkin is that made Canelo Alvarez appear that fast?

    Canelo Alvarez's speed against Gennady Golovkin looked like he was moving in a video at fast forward. He made every past oppoennt of Gennady Golovkin look like they moved in slow motion compared to him. Canelo also looked faster at middleweight than at 154 pounds.

    How do you rate Canelo's speed?

    this has got to be a joke, Canelo is above average, but not even top ten as far as speed is concerned

      Golovkin is so slow he makes Froch look like Roy Jones.

        I have to admit, I've never seen Canelo move so fast.

        He doesn't have any punch power, though

            And yet he struggled to the point of losing; according to the vast majority, or a draw according to the judges.

            That slow and plodding Golovkin must have done something right!

                    If he is so fast, you would think he would be able to land more than 3 punches. And actually dare to throw punches, but I guess not.
