Edgar Berlanga thinks that Terence Crawford cannot be counted out in a fight against Canelo Alvarez at 168. Although Crawford is older and would have to give weight against the unified super middleweight champion Canelo (62-2- 2, 39 KOs), recently. defeated Berlanga feels he would have a chance.
Crawford turns 37 this Saturday, September 28, and will start thinking about retirement if the Canelo fight doesn’t fall out of the sky into his lap.
It would help if Crawford was willing to get his backside up and work for the tag team title against Canelo by running the gauntlet against these four talented killers: David Benavidez, Osleys Iglesias, David Morrell and Christian Mbilli.
I’m sorry, Berlanga. At 168, you don’t rate in my book as one of the big four for Crawford to fight to earn the Canelo fight. Jewel fighters, manufactured with weak resumes do not count.
Provided His Excellency Turki Alalshikh comes up with the $150 million for Canelo to make the fight, Crawford will move up two weight classes from 154 to challenge him for his WBA, WBC and WBO super middleweight titles.
Turki recently joined Crawford in calling out Canelo on Sept. 14 following his one-sided 12-round unanimous decision against a hopelessly outmatched Berlanga. However, when asked about that matchup in the post-fight press conference, Canelo seemed disinterested, saying, “No comment.”
How Canelo made this remark was clear: “Stop bothering me already.” Crawford needs to take the hint and move on because Canelo won’t help him with his quest for generational cash for his golden parachute retirement fund. David Benavidez has already offered Crawford a fight, and other top fighters like Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis are also interested in fighting him.
“I really believe that anything can happen in boxing, and Terence Crawford is a legend. He is a great fighter. The only thing that I see in favor of Canelo is his weight, and he is much bigger. That is the only thing,” said Edgar Berlanga to Sways Universe about his thoughts on Terence Crawford potentially fighting Canelo Alvarez at 168.
“In terms of skill set and IQ, Crawford can match anybody and probably do better. Crawford is a legend, bro. You can’t count him out,” Berlanga said.
