Canelo Alvarez is one of the best active boxers in the world. The Mexican superstar has conquered multiple weight classes and is arguably the best pound-for-pound fighter. This is largely due to his ability to learn from his mistakes.

Despite all his success, Alvarez is always ready to help his fellow boxers. And the unified super-middleweight champion of the world has shown Andy Ruiz Jr. Floyd Mayweather’s most famous move.

Canelo Alvarez’s coach, Eddie Reynoso, posted the video to his Instagram. The first clip showed Alvarez enjoying a relaxed dance with the former heavyweight champion’s son. This showed the Mexican is in good spirits ahead of his unification bout.

The second clip in the post featured Alvarez teaching Andy Ruiz Jr. Mayweather’s trademark shoulder roll. The two were shadow boxing, and then Alvarez attacked ‘Destroyer’ as he attempted to recreate the shoulder roll. Alvarez also corrected him till he got the hang of it.
