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

[MONGOOSE66]

Edgar Berlanga will need more than punching prowess and a constituency to land a shot with boxing cash cow Canelo Alvarez. According to his new promoter Eddie Hearn, Berlanga will need to look impressive in his next few fights in order to earn a shot at the Mexican superstar and current undisputed champion of the 168-pound division.

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

Rocky Fielding had a secondary belt and Ryder was gifted a decision in the UK against a washed Jacobs that's just fighting for a check at this point in his career.

Instead of limiting the lack of humility and not being low key to those 3 groups , might be more rational to say the arrogant traits tend to apply to boxers as a whole. It may have to do with what it takes to be a boxer but it doesn’t matter if you’re talking about the Uk from Hamed to Aj. Mexico from Chavez to Canelo, Americans from Ali to Roy and Floyd, mayorga from Nicaragua or Duran from Panama, humility isn’t a common trait.

I couldn’t disagree more. From where I sit (above) there are significant differences in humility and sportsmanship across cultures. The average Mexican or Russian fighter acts nothing like the average PR fighter. Your average Kazakh, Ghanaian or Ukrainian fighter cannot relate to an urban American fighter whose insolent **** talking would get him maimed in the streets in their countries.

Well you have the right to be wrong. Puerto Rico has one of the highest murder rates per capita so the maimed in the streets argument is null and void and as I proved with the names mentioned in my other post, boxers from various countries have just as bad if not worse levels of lack of humility.

Did you prove something? I missed that part. Make a poll and see how many people agree with you. Also, read each line of my last post and then compare it to your response and note the incongruity.

are you denying that boxers such as Chavez, canelo, Hamed, Aj, Ali, Floyd, Roy , mayorga and Duran wouldn’t be described as humble? Who are these multiple excessively arrogant Puerto Rican, Cuban or Dominican fighters that surpass all others?? You chose to narrow it down to a few countries who you believe don’t produce arrogant boxers and couldn’t be more wrong about Mexico. Not to mention euros such as Kovalev , redech, wouldn’t be described as humble.

So looks like this is the new Hearn/Canelo agenda. Build up Berlanga with a couple of bum fights and get him the Canelo fight. Totally shameless but no surprise. Canelo is basically now just an attraction rather than a serious fighter.

Are you making your case by identifying outliers? Yes, there exist arrogant, flashy Mexican and Eastern European fighters. Yes, there are stoic, humble PR fighters. What are the norms though? As I said, make a poll and see what other fight fans think about it.

I tend to think social media is accelerating the development of an urban world culture, so it won't be long before all athletes are acting the fool, regardless of their geographic origins.

Who are these PR, DR, and Cuban boxers that are excessively arrogant, more so than others that they lead the pack? I’ll give you Camacho. Who else?

Wish he signed with Goldenboy instead. Munguia is the fight to make both guys have a chance to win, winner gets taken more seriously.
