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

[Combat Talk Radio]

Match him with Steve Nelson next.

'So Cold' exposes Berlanga, takes him out inside of 9 rounds.

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.

Angulo is shot! Not acceptable! What if Rosado beats Jacobs? They fight on the Haney vs. Gamboa card. Would you still say he should fight Rosado?

Angulo is still a step up. For a guy that has fought all of 15 rounds in his professional life its good enough for me right now. There is no rush.

If Rosado upsets Jacobs then I still wouldn't have a problem with him as an opponent. He's still a mediocre fighter.
