The Canelo Alvarez–William Scull fight drew a slew of reactions from fans and pundits alike. One of those who found the bout ‘boring as hell’ was Edgar Berlanga. As expected, there were no surprises this time. Unlike the unpredictability at Times Square, the ‘catch and run’ affair at The Venue Riyadh Season saw Canelo breeze past Scull’s lackluster challenge to once again reclaim his status as undisputed champion. Perhaps anticipating this outcome, Turki Alalshikh and his team saved the best for last.

Immediately after the fight, Terence Crawford entered the ring for a long-awaited face-off with the super middleweight king. That’s when the Riyadh Season chief made it official: Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford will meet in Las Vegas on September 12. While most boxing fans already sensed this mega matchup was in the works, what was missing was formal confirmation. Now it’s here. And yet, despite that, the callouts haven’t stopped. So, watching the Scull fight unfold, Berlanga couldn’t help but react. He wants another shot.

Edgar Berlanga: Time for round two, Canelo!

Backing his words with a tweet, the Nuyorican fighter wrote, “Omg, this f**king fight is boring! I need that rematch #caneloberlanga2.” Though a few responses were encouraging, most weren’t so gracious with their feedback. One even called on Edgar Berlanga to handle unfinished business with his super middleweight peers, Jaime Munguia and Caleb Plant.

For the record, Berlanga does have a fight lined up. On July 12, he’s set to face Great Britain’s Hamzah Sheeraz in the DAZN-streamed Shakur Stevenson vs. William Zepeda headliner. Following last year’s Mexican Independence Day weekend bout against Canelo Alvarez, Berlanga returned to action with a first-round knockout win over Jonathan Gonzalez-Ortiz on the Austin Williams – Patrice Volny undercard.

That dominant showing was followed by a flurry of call-outs, most notably a profanity-laced challenge aimed at Caleb Plant, with whom Berlanga has had a long-standing feud. At the same time, he reignited talk of a potential rematch with Canelo.

Referring once again to the Mexico vs. Puerto Rico rivalry that fueled their first clash, Berlanga’s latest Spanish-language challenge roughly translates to: “We’re going to do the rematch; we’re going to do the rematch in 2026. Let’s go! You know that Puerto Rico and Mexico are the best. I did it.”

Does Berlanga still play in this crowded picture?

It’s unclear whether Canelo has seen Berlanga’s message. And perhaps for good reason. With the Terence Crawford fight now officially announced for September, the super middleweight king’s calendar is filling fast. Under his four-fight deal with Riyadh Season, Canelo still has two more bouts likely scheduled for 2026.

Two names currently top the list of potential opponents. First is Dmitry Bivol, the man who handed Canelo his second career loss. A rematch between them has been a long-running rumor, especially now that Bivol is also fighting under the Riyadh Season banner. That matchup feels increasingly possible.

The second, and arguably most anticipated, is a clash with David Benavidez. The long-standing thorn in Canelo’s side, Benavidez, was once his mandatory challenger but eventually moved up in weight after repeated delays. Canelo’s reluctance to engage has drawn plenty of criticism. As the deal nears its end, fans wonder: Will he finally step up and settle the score?

And then, of course, there’s another wildcard. Canelo turns 36 next year. With the twilight of his career approaching, a blockbuster ‘money fight’ against someone like Jake Paul may not be out of the question.

So amid all these potential matchups, where does Edgar Berlanga fit in? One can only wonder.

What’s your take? Do you see Canelo vs. Berlanga 2 actually happening?
