Comments Thread For: Berlanga: I'm Ready To Go Rounds, But See Fear in Eyes of Opponents

[yankees7448]

Didn't GGG drop Jacobs? Anyway, I get what you're saying but Jacobs would be the perfect opponent for the occasion! It's hard to move guys up, and get them rounds, if you're not going to put them in there with seasoned vets! Berlanga is already WBA #11, and IBF #9! The only way to go is UP!

He dropped Jacobs sure. But Jacobs got back up and fought harder. I understand your point but every fighter is different. You can go full speed ahead with some. Other time too big a step up too soon can ruin them. Moreover, boxing fans are fickle as ****. You can't lose a televised fight once you start getting noticed because then you get written off.

Yeah, most of the posters on here are very critical of Berlanga ALREADY, because he's "only fighting bums!" That's how it's supposed to be when you're only 23! However, not every 23 yr. old is KOing bums in the first round, EVERY fight!

Canelo didn't lose any props for losing to Mayweather! I don't think Berlanga would lose any for losing to Jacobs or Rosado, well maybe Rosado! Lol! He needs someone to test him, and Bob is going to showcase him on the PR Parade Weekend, so maybe this cat Steve Nelson (17-0 w/ 14 KOs) can do it? Nelson is trained by BoMac (Crawford's trainer) and he's 32! He's already fought on ESPN before, so maybe he's the right one?

I really like this kid. I hope they continue to move him slow. He needs to continue to develop his all around game. He could be special, but he just doesnt need to be rushed.

Worse then Brunson? Lmao Brunson fought only Début fighters or people with losing record anyone with a winning record beat him look it up . Even Eric Moon, Lanell Belows or Cesar Nunez beats him but okay

berlanga is just another valero wannabe. he will beaten up like brusnon as well.

berlanga is carefully cherrypicking the bums he beats up.
one of these cherrys will get him doe

That's how all the greats began their careers! Boots has beenn calling out everyone, and no one wants that smoke! They don't want to end up like Lomachenko!

You must not follow boxing! you know Oscar is not going to put Ortiz in there with Boots unless it's for a title? Oscar is bringing Ortiz Jr. along just as slowly as Boots Ennis!

Berlanga vs Curtis Stevens

Come June he will fight someone like Steven Nelson, Caleb Traux or maybe even better. Yet still people will continue to hate lmao

[Ricardi]

Go look at Caleb Plants boxrec he fought worse opponents then Berlanga at this stage in his career and was older . Heck he's barely fighting better opponents now

I know what you're trying to say with regards to Jacobs but it doesn't hold up. Danny Jacobs is an excellent fighter. Mayweather Jr is a guaranteed first ballot Hall of Famer and will probably be considered an all time great (some already do). Losing to Mayweather Jr is nothing to be embarrassed about. Losing to Jacobs doesn't give anyone that kind of pass.

As for who he could fight as steps up. I like Alfredo Angulo and Gabe Rosado. Neither guy is anything special but they are good trial horses. They've lost to many of the best fighters of this era but never stop trying to win. I also like Andre Dirrell as an opponent. He's got some athleticism and skill but I don't think he has heart, is inactive and already 37. So he'd be a good test without being overly threatening. Then you can start having him step up to higher level guys like Danny Jacobs if you're really confident in him.
