Comments Thread For: Edgar Berlanga Believes His Star Power Warrants A Canelo Alvarez Showdown

[War Room]

I think this is a winnable fight for Berlanga. Cleneloterol likes having fighters on the backfoot, tentative about exchanging. Berlangs will bring the fight and with Cleneloterol getting older, Berlanga could really rustle his feathers.

He is an easy work for Canelo at this point.

How about fighting ( and beating ) somebody top 20 first?

[James Hunt]

Edgar seems to be more interested in being a main event star, not so much main event boxer.

This is a fine example of why I have always said dazn really needs to go. I hope it does, or that Canelo loses again and people stop trying to force him into this mythical “face of boxing” role. He’s been beaten twice handily and given other gifts decisions and protected against the fighters who are threats to him.
where are all the man fans screaming about “who has berlanga fought?” Where are these usual suspects? You know the incels who try to soul names like Charlo and Benevidez yet don’t do the same with domestic level British fighters or guys like berlanga? Boxing will be better off when it stops focusing on Canelo. THAT has definitely hurt the sport

Absolutely delusional. A star? Dropped by a Mexican journeyman. Life or death with Steve Rolls and bites Angelo. Doesn’t get into the second round against Canelo.

Sounds like the perfect showcase fight for Canelo. If he can beat up a few more cans I won't be surprised if he gets the Canelo fight.

If Berlanga had any kind of defense he would beat Alvared

[harry-greb]

Sadly, in this era he's right.

If Canelo beats Bivol @ 168, he'll remain the "Face Of Boxing." If Bivol beats him, then he goes from Superman to Juan Manuel Marquez, overnight!

This guy is delusional. He filled up the Hulu theater at MSG, not actual msg and everyone walked out disappointed with his performance and saying Zayas should headline instead. Just because he hangs out with Fat Joe doesn’t equate to real star power.

Another money grabber. Next.
