Essentially an exhibition fight. Hard Pass

Except for the fact that Crawford actually wants to move up for a real challenge! What a weird comment LOL

He wants to move up for a payday. Keep it real.

If a challenge is what he was really after, he'd shoot for Benavidez - the guy Canelo is actively ducking.

Canelo is getting close to the end. I don't understand why he continues to fight if this is what he's going to do with the remainder of his career.

First Berlanga, then Eubank, then Pacheco... Easy work!

Feels like 2014 with lara and danny on the undercard lol

Rod Salka levels of cherrypicking.

The right fight at this point in his career, and by no means a gimme, Berlanga's style is actually not as straight up and down as Jaime was, in fact, he is much more athletic, and explosive, not an easy fight. It will sell with PR/Mex, will have a quality build up, and everyone is going to watch no matter how much crying we hear today on this website. It is what it is, after that, Canelo can do whatever he wants, and we all will watch that too.

Canelo will go down in history as a joke

Sound off Canelo-jotos. Let’s hear from the Canelo morricones. This is your man crush idol in all his “glory”

PBC seems to have been waiting to put Lara/Garcia on a PPV undercard because they know it can't headline its own event.

PBC is actually relying on Canelo to put events now. First it was Munguia (GBP) in May, and now Berlanga (Matchroom) in September. They can't even get Canelo to fight someone from their own stable!

Might have something to do with Canelo having a lack of cajones to take on pbc’s killers
