Comments Thread For: Eddie Hearn Says Edgar Berlanga Must 'Prove His Value' To Get Shot At Canelo

[GBP4LIFE]

They needa stop addressing this guy as Puerto Rican. He is of PR descent from NY. Nuyoricans are far different than real PR folks from the island in the way they conduct themselves. Hope to see how he handles dealing with the top guys in his division bc he hasn't looked impressive at all since he was presented with stiffer competition. Seems more interested in becoming a celebrity on the internet and flashing his possessions like a rapper than being an elite-level boxer.

yeah it’s embarrassing at this point.. why alot of boricuas dont support him

Berlanga trying to skip the line in order to get a mega fight, he doesn’t deserve. It’s going to be sad to watch fighters follow this blueprint in the future.

I watched Berlanga-Rolls live a the MSG theater and everybody was booing or didn’t even pay attention. Xander Zayas gets more love than Berlanga and is humble compare to Berlanga who thinks he some boxing star. Nobody really thinking this guy is the next trinidad or cotto.

At least on the rematchroom diet of shot past it old men he should be getting a few more ko's again & in a couple of years & 2 fight's later under missmatchroom speed the current crop will either be old or moving on up.
Eddie's has invested in the future on young talent.

Rocky Fielding actually became a world champion. John Ryder beat a ex world champion and elite middleweight in Daniel Jacobs…something Berlanga has never done. Stop being ignorant

Jacobs was never an elite fighter. Biggest win is kid chocolate

I was partially wondering why they keep mentioning Canelo's name while they build Berlanga up. Then I came back to reality and realized that's just what a promoter does. Berlanga has had a string of less than impressive fights, but they see upside with him and need to make money off of him. What better way than to sell him as a guy who would one day "take a mantle" through Canelo. Basically designing a Mexico vs PR fight that no one is asking for with the hopes that Berlanga holds up his end by looking impressive so that people will accept the fight one day.

Berlanga got straight ignored at the Serrano fight LOLLL

Berlanga is no match for the ginger tbh. Probably never will. It just an easy moneygrab at this point

Eddie should know that beating a couple Pavel Stepiens does not a Canelo opponent make. Let's see Berlanga in some good fights - McCrory would be a nice start. Got an awful feeling we'll be seeing him in with career light middleweight (newly super middle) Kieran Conway though. "Ammo couldn't stop him ..."

McCrory? No thank you

Rocky Fielding never went on to be world champ. Regular isnt the champ.So stop saying that bs.


So I guess Daniel Dubois is a heavyweight champion right now since he is the regular wba champ. So fury vs usyk wouldn't be for undisputed right?

Canelo isn't undisputed right now because David Morrell is the wba regular champ at 168 right?

Don't be a hypocrite

He looks, walks and talks like pretty much every PR I've ever seen (except Cotto maybe).
