    Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez is a great modern-day fighter who has one of the best resumes in boxing currently. Canelo is a front foot counter-puncher who thrives on stationary fighters or fighters coming at him - (most notably against Angulo, Kirkland, Smith & Chavez Jr). However, he often struggles with slick boxers with movement, most notably Trout, Lara & Mayweather (with the latter being his only loss to date). So how does Canelo fare against some of the best slick fighters throughout history

    Canelo vs:
    Mccallum
    Norris
    Wright
    Andrade
    Nunn
    Kalambay
    Graham
    Eubank
    Toney
    Jones
    Hopkins
    Ward
    Cazalghe

    McCallum, Kalambay, Nunn, Wright, Toney, Jones, Hopkins, Ward and Cazalghe beat him. Norris and Graham could also win, but I doubt it.

    He beats the others.

    Loses to them all but wins on the scorecards for most of those fights.

    Might win legitimately vs Terry Norris because of said fighter's fragile whiskers.
