Stephen Curry may be considered the greatest shooter of all time, but when it comes to boxing, he still has a lot to learn. Boxing champion Canelo Alvarez made sure the Golden State Warriors star realizes that.
Curry and Alvarez met on the golf course recently, and so the Warriors guard didn't waste the chance to have a sparring match with Alvarez once again.
Unfortunately for Steph, Canelo didn't hold back and made quick work of the NBA superstar:

For what it's worth, this is the second time Stephen Curry and Canelo Alvarez had a little fun sparring on the golf course. The Warriors sharpshooter actually challenged the middleweight champ to a boxing match at last year's American Country Championship golf tournament.

It will probably take years and years of practice if Curry wants to be in Alvarez's level. Luckily for him, he's not boxing for a living.
Boxing and basketball aside, it might be better for the two to face each other in a golf game and see who has the better swing and who will win — at least this should be a relatively fair duel.
