Tbh I can't see Canelo taking the risk against a long armed, legged, 6'3'' opponent in their prime. He's never done that before, ever, I can't see him doing it now. Sheeraz is 10cm taller than anyone he's ever faced, and has 18 ko's from 23 fights.
Irrespective of the facade, Canelo Alvarez is risk averse as a fighter for the most part. And when he's taken risks, he's lost 2 out of 3, the third being tailor made before the bell.
*correction, James Kirkland was a big risk, given his style and power.
**double correction, GGG fights were huge risks, you gotta give credit where credit is due.
But post GGG, only Kovalev, Plant, Bivol, Saunders were risk fights. The Kovalev fight was A-side manipulations though.

So he wanna personally oversee and show them the proper way how to cheat, is that it?
It’s pretty crazy how fighters don’t capitalize on their prime. If you’re A HOF fighter, there’s always opportunities and perks that will come your way post boxing. Therefore, you gotta take your career seriously.
Look at Jermell Charlo. Dude was in the process of putting together a HOF career. He loses to Canelo and that’s it. It basically looks like it’s over.
They may regret it. They won’t realize until years after their career is over. They’ll see their peers that took it seriously referred to as a HOFer and getting opportunities thrown their way.

Jermell was undisputed at 154. He already has a hall of fame case, a solid one at that. I would of liked to see him move up to 160, but he put his work in at 154, that's what got him the Canelo fight in the first place.

Becoming undisputed is a good foundation, but he’s not an auto lock. He was on the trajectory but needed more imo. If we gotta debate if you should be in the hall of famer, you’re not a famer.
Based on that logic Buster Douglas should have gotten in immediately after the Tyson fight. I suppose Haney is already a hall of famer in your eyes.
He got the Canelo fight because Jermall was not ready to go, and he was a sufficient cherry-pick they could sell as part of Canelo’s three fight PBC deal. Yes, it helped that he did his thing at 154 but he got the fight because an opportunity presented itself, as opposed to Crawford who is getting the fight solely based on his accomplishments. If Jermall was ready, Jermall never gets that fight.
You think Badou would take a dive against Paul?
