Pacheco should fight Mbilli next

Just like Canelo couldn't wait (pass) on Mayweather fight

Not seeing the problem. Canelo was 23 when he fought the kingpin Mayweather. Nobody expected canelo to win either. Sometimes the young lion needs to take risks but 27 isn't even that young. Still, I'm not paying for this fight and the weak undercards. They could have at least thrown a good co-main to sell it.

And just like Jaron Ennis Eddie Hearn cannot deliver the big fight to his fighter either. Berlanga had to go to PBC to get that fight. I would like to say thanks Al Haymon! hahahahahahahaha

This is Berlanga's lottery win. If he fought one of the other top dudes first, he would have been exposed.

or else Canelo was gonna move on to another c level opponent lol

Hearn making it sound like Berlanga is brave for taking on Canelo, nobody is surprised that Berlanga quickly signed the contract, he's been chasing the Canelo payday since he racked up a few 1st round KOs against part-time boxers.

In this whole charade by Canelo, I don't blame Berlanga at all for taking this fight. Anything can happen in boxing but we're fooling ourselves if you think he actually has a shot. But as an up and comer, when a fight like this is offered, you jump all over it, in contrast, most fighters nowadays when a fight like this is offered, they demand, demand and demand some more and then they back out. Guys like Crawford, Haney, Stevenson, ect ect, constantly price themselves out in order to get out of taking a risk, and then say they're being avoided. And their fans eat it up.... So Berlanga at least is giving it a shot, if he loses, no big deal, you took on the Champ of the division, things didn't work out, you learn and move on, that's how it used to be before all these divas hit the stage.
