    I remember watching Canelo fight Baldomir and that was the first time I saw him and they were talking in the commentary how he could be a potential star, but is he a bit slow for the top WWs out there, and I remember agreeing that he was a bit on the slow side. Now, however, he's not just not slow but quite fast.

    Didn't figure that was possible. Has any other fighter made a substantial improvement in handspeed like that?

    I dont think he is punching quicker , just more correctly , he used to chop with the right hand, now its straighter, also his jab is much more refined.

    Overall I dont think you can improve your speed that greatly unless you take something off the punches.

    His mitt work looked like he was working on speed.
