Why are people talking about Canelo like he has master footwork?

[KillaMane26]

So funny that he was known for cement feet. Now dude b using ever inch of ring.

Great footwork doesn't only mean how mobile one is, he knows how to position himself properly, which allows him to be the combination puncher that he is. Same applies with Marquez in the later stages of his career.

That is why he looked so good against Lara. GGG is not a fast boxer.

[Zaryu]

I don't think anyone is saying that. Just because some people feel he can outbox GGG doesn't mean they think he's going to be floating like a butterfly.

Canelo earned GGGs respect with his punching power, and he could see most of what GGG was throwing at him, so Canelo doesn't have to employ fancy footwork to outbox GGG, he can move his head and counter him.

You don't need to be moving at 100 mph to have good footwork. Canelo was never the fastest guy with his feet, but his feet were also very good. People assumed that Canelo is 'lead footed' and Golovkin will easily catch him and KO him. But speed =/= quickness. Canelo sat on the ropes moving a bit here and there and was very successful due to quickness. Although, Golovkin could have done much more if he took more risks.

In his fight vs Golovkin he wasn't bouncing on his feet and looking slick(I knew he wouldnt do that, that's not who he is) He was literally just backing p rope to rope, GGG helped with his jab to draw him back but people that utilize great footwork can hardly be trapped on the ropes. Lomachenko,Rigondeaux,Ward,Crawford, etc

Who says that? He just stays in place and moves his waist
