Despite a weight advantage over a lot of his opponents, Canelo Alvarez only ever looked slower than Amir Khan in the ring who is indisputably the fastest boxer in history with the fastest hands ever. Especially in terms of combinations. And there's no shame in that for Canelo Alvarez! Nobody can match Amir Khan for speed. Not even any of the boxers below welterweight. Speed is almost purely the only thing that has allowed Amir Khan to be as successful as he has. If he had more elements to his game, then he would've been close to unbeatable with only a handful of boxers standing much of a chance at beating him.
Other than that, Canelo Alvarez has made pretty much every other opponent look like they move in slow motion. Including Miguel Cotto, Gennady Golovkin and Shane Mosley. Almost to the point where they look like they are uncoordinated stiffs that exist in a different time frame altogether. Canelo Alvarez may just be the fastest middleweight and light middleweight in history!
To me, despite being much bigger in size and heavier, Canelo Alvarez puts Vasyl Lomachenko to shame when it comes to SHEER speed. Even foot speed perhaps. Since Lomachenko only looks flashy but Canelo Alvarez is far more impressive technically and in terms of effectiveness.
Lomachenko looks like he has weights in his arms. That's how slow the poor little guy's hands look in comparison to Canelo Alvarez who's punches only appear to be blurry and are barely visible to the naked eye.
In addition, Canelo also has power unlike the feather fisted Lomachenko.
Just rewatch / watch Canelo Alvarez's punches against Gennady Golovkin and then look how much faster his hands are in comparison to Vasyl Lomachenko's slow ass punches against Guillermo Rigondeaux like as if Lomachenko's hands were stuck in mad and he was struggling to pull it out.

But how come Manos del Rayo couldn't beat the worst Middleweight in history, man (that'd be Golovkin for the uninitiated)? I think he musta been carrying GGG cos he knew there was $$$s in a rematch. Whatchu reckon?
