Bronx2245, those are three step up fights that we all would like to see. Steve Nelson, Gabriel Rosado, Daniel Jacobs, and NachoMan, mentioned Carlos Gongora, those are great fights that need to be made. The first round KO record would be a mute point, if he never becomes a champion of the boxing world. 2021 has to be his breakout year in order to keep, and gain more boxing fans. Berlanga fights out of the the Andre Rozier training camp, which has Sergi Devrenchenko, Ievgen khyrov, and other renown Ukrainian boxers. Edgar spars with these, and other boxers on a regular basis. Their is no reason to hold him back any longer from other rated fighters in the top 20, then 15, and ultimately 10, of the 168 pounds division. In 2022-2023 he'll probably be moving up to the 175 pounds class. So if he's going to challenge for a 168 pound title, it has to be in late 2021, or early 2022. He's got to get the needed rounds, experience, chin checked, heart checked, and stamina checked, all before fighting for a title.

Steven Nelson fight makes so much sense. 2 prospects, both under TR, the winner moves up to contender. It won't happen, but it should. UK promoters match up theor prospects often and in most cases, the loser still moves on to have a great career.

Nelson isn't the regular prospect either! He's already 32! He needs this fight more than Berlanga!

Nelson is one fight away from a mandatory. He's a contender not a prospect. But I'm all for the fight I doubt Top Rank would do the fight. Way more upside in keeping Berlanga in there with bums

Gabe ain't no ordinary chump. I see him testing Berlanga past the 1-minute mark and dragging him into the deep waters of 2 minutes, 15 seconds.

Rosado coming off that Jacobs fight that a lot of people thought he won, would perfect!

From what i've seen, Nelson is WBO #8, and Berlanga is WBO #9. I would say that puts them both in the "prospect" category. However Nelson being 32, he needs a big fight to get to contender status! Berlanga would be perfect! On another note, why is David Lemieux still ranked so high @ 168?

Oh ok. After his last fight Bomac said Nelson had one more fight then he'll be in a mandatory position. Bomac doesn't know wtf he's talking about

Well we know Canelo is the target, and he hasn't faced anyone near that level yet! That's why I want Jacobs in '21. Rumor has it that Jacobs wants to go back to Rozier! I hope Rozier says "kick rocks!" If he comes back to Rozier, then that changes the game! I wonder who is promoting Vladimir Shiskin? He could definitely give Berlanga a test too! I have a bias for all fighters that train in Kronk's Gym in Detroit! Shiskin is 29, 11-0 w/ 7 KOs.

Yeah, i'm not sure that's possible.

[tritium_arma]

I can count how many top 100 fighters he's fought on no hands.

[VashDBasher]

Let’s see him against Carlos Gongora.

Now you’re talking. That’s definitely a fight that should be made.
