The Perfect Boxer According to Canelo

Absolute champion in the super middleweight division (up to 76.2 kg) Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (60-2-2, 39 KOs) answered what would make the perfect boxer, focusing on specific criteria.

- If you could create the perfect fighter with the best right hand you've ever seen in boxing?

- Tommy Hearns, I think, has one of the best right hands I've ever seen.

- Left hand?

- Julio Cesar Chavez. Possibly.

- Greatest power?

- Duran or Foreman.

- Footwork?

- I think Pernell Whitaker's footwork.

- Chin?

- I think that's me.

- IQ. Who's the smartest guy in the ring you've ever seen?

- I think Mayweather. Very good IQ, said Canelo.

Saul Alvarez is set to face Jaime Munguia on May 4th in Las Vegas. Canelo has a public conflict with Munguia's promoter, Oscar De La Hoya, previously stating, "Oscar has nonsense in his head."
