Canelo Alvarez hand speed: Mexican throws crazy 20-punch combo in 3 seconds

Canelo Álvarez is considered by most in the boxing world to be the best pound for pound fighter in the sport.

The Mexican has racked up a 57–1–2 record on his way to becoming the first undisputed super middleweight champion.
