Edgar Berlanga posted the following six fights he wished after his March eighth battle, rumored to be in opposition to journeyman Gabriel Rosado (26-17-1, 15 KOs) in Puerto Rico. Rosado hasn’t received a battle in 4 years since 2021.
Six Fights, Zero Likelihood?
He would doubtless lose to the entire six fights that Berlanga desires. That might make it troublesome for him to battle the remaining 5 and not using a huge backlash from the fighters who select to battle him.
Edgar included Jermall Charlo and the not too long ago knocked-out Jaime Munguia on the record. Even these guys would doubtless be far too proficient in opposition to the a lot larger Berlanga.
Curiously, Berlanga (22-1, 17 KOs) included a rematch with Canelo Alvarez as one of many six fights he desires, which appears extremely unlikely with out him beating somebody high-level at gentle heavyweight or cruiserweight.
Canelo won’t ever battle 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 regarded huge within the ring with Canelo that night time. Surprisingly, he was in a position to make the 168-lb.
Being that large, he ought to battle at gentle heavyweight. Berlanga’s resolution to remain at 168 is comprehensible, however he’s not proficient sufficient to beat even fringe contenders at 175.
The Want Checklist
“After my March eighth battle, these are the following six fights that I would like in no explicit order.LINE’EM UP FOR ME 🇵🇷🇵🇷👑👑,” mentioned Edgar Berlanga on X.

Fighters like Caleb Plant and Hamzah Sheeraz would doubtless leap on the likelihood to battle Berlanga. The previous IBF tremendous middleweight champion has already tried to get a battle in opposition to him, however with no luck. If Plant did try to battle 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 regarded in opposition to 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
