Edgar Berlanga posted the next six fights he wanted after his March 8 fight, according to journeyman rumors Gabriel Rosado (26-17-1, 15 kos) in Puerto Rico. Rosado hasn’t won a fight in four years since 2021.
Six fights, zero chance?
He would probably lose every six fights Berlanga wants. This would make it difficult for him to fight the other five without a massive backlash from the fighters who choose to fight him.
Edgar included Jermall Charlo and the recently eliminated Jaime Munguia on the list. Even those guys would probably be way too talented against the much taller Berlanga.
Interestingly, Berlanga (22-1, 17 KO) has included a rematch with Canelo Alvarez as one of the six fights he wants, which seems very unlikely without him beating someone high profile at Light Heavyweight or Cruiserweight.
Canelo will never fight Berlanga without doing something beyond his abilities, like beating David Benavidez, David Morrell, Artur Beterbiev or Dmitry Bivol.
Berlanga would have been rehydrated at 193 pounds For his 12 round unanimous decision loss to Canelo on September 14 of last year. The Brooklyn, New York, Berlanga looked massive in the ring with Canelo that night. Amazingly, he was able to do the 168 lbs.
Being this big, he should fight against the light heavyweight. Berlanga’s decision to stay at 16888 is understandable, but he is not talented enough to beat even fringe contenders at 175.
The wish list
“After my March 8 fight, these are the next six fights I want in no particular order.
Line’em for me 🇵🇷🇵🇷👑👑,” said Edgar Berlanga X.Jamie Munguia
Jermall Charlo
Caleb plant
Hamzah Sheeraz
Canelo Alvarez – revenge
Diego Pacheco
Fighters like Caleb Plant and Hamzah Sheeraz would likely jump at the chance to fight Berlanga. The former IBF Super Middleweight champion once tried to fight him, but without luck. If Plant tried to fight him, he could ignore it and continue to play it safe, waiting and hoping that Canelo would bless him with a rematch.
Berlanga hasn’t beaten anyone yet to prove he’s a B-level fighter. He’s not A-level with how he looked against Canelo and in some of his other fights.
Berlanga’s best victories:
-Steve Rolls
-Roamer Alexis Angulo
– Marcelo Coceres
– Demond Nicholson
-Jason Quigley
– Padraig McCrory
