Edgar Berlanga posted the following six fights he wished after his March eighth combat, rumored to be towards journeyman Gabriel Rosado (26-17-1, 15 KOs) in Puerto Rico. Rosado hasn’t gained a combat in 4 years since 2021.
Six Fights, Zero Likelihood?
He would seemingly lose to the entire six fights that Berlanga needs. That will make it troublesome for him to combat the remaining 5 with no large backlash from the fighters who select to combat him.
Edgar included Jermall Charlo and the just lately knocked-out Jaime Munguia on the record. Even these guys would seemingly be far too proficient towards the a lot greater Berlanga.
Curiously, Berlanga (22-1, 17 KOs) included a rematch with Canelo Alvarez as one of many six fights he needs, which appears extremely unlikely with out him beating somebody high-level at mild heavyweight or cruiserweight.
Canelo won’t ever combat Berlanga with out doing one thing past his capabilities, like beating David Benavidez, David Morrell, Artur Beterbiev, or Dmitry Bivol.
Berlanga reportedly rehydrated to 193 lbs for his 12-round unanimous resolution loss to Canelo on September 14th final yr. The Brooklyn, New York, Berlanga appeared large within the ring with Canelo that night time. Surprisingly, he was capable of make the 168-lb.
Being that huge, he ought to combat at mild heavyweight. Berlanga’s resolution to remain at 168 is comprehensible, however he’s not proficient sufficient to beat even fringe contenders at 175.

Fighters like Caleb Plant and Hamzah Sheeraz would seemingly soar on the likelihood to combat Berlanga. The previous IBF tremendous middleweight champion has already tried to get a combat towards him, however with no luck. If Plant did try to combat him, he may ignore him and proceed to play it secure, ready and hoping Canelo would bless him with a rematch.
Berlanga hasn’t crushed anybody but to show he’s a B-level fighter. He’s not A-level with how he appeared towards Canelo and in a few of his different fights.
Berlanga’s finest wins:
– Steve Rolls– Roamer Alexis Angulo– Marcelo Coceres– Demond Nicholson– Jason Quigley– Padraig McCrory
