The fight no one asked for, Canelo Alvarez vs Edgar Berlanga.. Ladies and gentlemen, let’s talk about one of the most head-scratching matchups in recent boxing history. Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez, a name synonymous with greatness, has chosen Edgar Berlanga as his next opponent. Yes, you heard that right. Edgar Berlanga. And let me tell you, the boxing world is collectively rolling its eyes at this one.
Edgar Berlanga, for those who might not know, is an undefeated super middleweight contender with a record of 22-0 and 17 knockouts. Impressive on paper, sure. But let's get real here. Berlanga's last few fights have been anything but spectacular. He’s gone the distance in his last five bouts, failing to deliver the knockouts he was once known for.

Critics are slamming this matchup as a cash grab. Berlanga, with his Puerto Rican heritage and knockout hype, might sell tickets, but does he really deserve a shot at Canelo? Hell no. Canelo has fought and beaten some of the best in the business—Gennady Golovkin, Sergey Kovalev, and Callum Smith, to name a few. And now, he’s taking on Berlanga? Come on, man. This is like putting a Chihuahua in the ring with a Pitbull.
Even Eddie Hearn, Berlanga’s promoter, is trying to sell this fight by hyping up Berlanga’s knockout record and his appeal to the Puerto Rican fanbase. But let’s call it what it is—a desperate attempt to make a payday. [Sources: DAZN, Sporting News, BoxingScene]
The fans aren’t buying it either. Social media is ablaze with comments about how this fight is a joke. 'Canelo would be robbing the fans blind if he chooses Edgar Berlanga,' one critic said. And you know what? They’re right. [Source: Kevin Iole]
Berlanga himself is confident, saying he’s got the star power and the fan base to make this fight happen. But confidence doesn’t win fights. Skills do. And if Berlanga thinks he’s going to step into the ring with Canelo and come out on top, he’s in for a rude awakening. [Sources: DAZN, Sporting News, BoxingScene]
So, as we brace ourselves for this so-called 'superfight,' let’s keep it real. This is nothing more than a sideshow. A spectacle designed to sell tickets and PPVs, but it won’t fool the true boxing fans. They know what a real challenge looks like, and Edgar Berlanga is not it.
Stay tuned for more updates, and get ready for the most unnecessary fight of the year. Canelo vs. Berlanga. It’s happening, whether we like it or not.
