Why are people making it out like Canelo is slow?

[SalimShady1212]

Fair enough he can be flat footed but I've seen many people label him as a slow, plodding fighter. In respect to his hand speed this couldn't be further from the truth, watch his fights against the likes of Lopez and you'll see that Saul Alvarez had very very quick hands and despite Khan being quicker (than almost everyone anyway), Canelo has very good hand speed. He's a very good combination puncher who mixes them up and is slicker than given credit for.

Canelo is one of the most under appreciated fighters in the sport.

People genuinely talk as if he's just a big guy with power. The reality is that he's very skilled, he's a great counter puncher, his hand speed is very good, his defence is now very good....

Ultimately, there's a lot of people who don't like him and in turn talk nonsense.

I'll belive he's a great middleweight when he lasts 12 runds with GGG

When people say slow, they're referring to Canelo's footwork, which is exactly that - slow and plodding. Fast hands, but he's a plodder on the feet.

They mean his feet. He has good head movement and good hand speed but he walks like hes moving through cement

Yep. This right here.

His feet are slow and I know why. His vagina is slowing him down, dude is the biggest pvssy in the game. He goes after a ****ing welterweight instead of fighting Golovkin. How ever unlikely it is I hope Khan embarrasses him. Its probably too much to ask for a knock out but i would settle for a 12 round ass whooping.

He is ducking GGG and he moves slower than a turtle.

He's pretty quick with the hands just slow on the feet and thats because he digs his feet when her punches

It's not slow, it's called hate.
