Canelo Alvarez need not be in the ring to captivate the fans. The undisputed super-middleweight champion defended his belt against Jermell Charlo last month. However, ‘Saul,’ has no intention of lazing around as he has returned to the boxing gym. The 33-year-old has an array of potential opponents that the boxing world might be too eager to see. Who does he fight next? Only time can tell. But we know the Mexican boxer will cut no corners to be in the best shape possible.
Moreover, in a recent turn of events, Alvarez made headlines in the boxing world with his unique exercise. To build a strong chin and increase durability, Alvarez from time to time trains his neck. At times, you would find him putting a weight plate on his forehead and curling his head. However, this time around, he uses his body weight by maintaining an upside-down position. So let’s wait no further and take a look at his training and unwrap some fan reactions.

Canelo Alvarez’s neck workout draws distinct reactions from the fans
In the video posted by @Canelo Team, Alvarez appears to have wrapped his legs around a punching bag and curled his head on a towel laid on the floor. Moreover, the fans were left impressed and to an extent intrigued. Here are a few fan reactions reflecting on the same.
A fan thinks Alvarez has a laudable chin that has assisted in weathering the storm in many great fights.
Canelo’s chin is one of his best attributes. Nobody wants to trade with Alvarez because he not only hits hard, but unless you hit like GGG he’s going to walk through it.

Makes me cringe that, sure the old Gregory Peck shouldn’t do that!
