Sheeraz vs Mbilli, Pacheco, or Canelo.

-----------------
There is no such thing as "this may show Canelo's age". When Canelo got beat up by Floyd, the excuse was "he was too green". When he got beat by Bivol, the excuse was "he under-estimated Bivol and Bivol was afraid to rematch him". When he got beat by Crawford, suddenly "Canelo was past his prime".

Why are we still making excuses for Canelo?

Who is "We"? You're barking up the wrong tree, I never made those excuses for Canelo.I even said no way was Canelo green, he already had a ton of fights when he fought Mayweather and I never said he underestimated Bivol, in fact I said that Canelo avoided Bivol for the rematch because the outcome would have been the same. I even argued with people who called Canelo green and I pushed back against people who claimed Bivol ducked Canelo when the fact is Canelo ducked Bivol and agued with that Robbie Canelo lover guy. Dude, you got the wrong person here.

If this opponent comes to fight instead of move and jab like Scull and Crawford then vintage Canelo will be back.

Vintage? Like the one that fought Floyd or thr oe that fought Bivol. What do you mean vintage? he was never elite, he was good but never elite, he made his career out of fighting old dogs with names, undersize fighters and mediocre boxers. Please if you are going to reply to this, please name one elite fighter in his prime he beat.

No worries at all. Just to clarify, my use of 'we' was a general reference to Canelo's defenders, not aimed at you. I know your statement about his age wasn't absolute, but it does suggest that age might be a factor if Mbilli troubles him. I'm definitely not trying to read too much into your words or make it personal.
