Almost every boxer in the whole world wants to fight Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez. The Mexican Monster has only faced two defeats in his entire life with sixty wins. One of his defeats came at the hands of the legendary Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather, while the other was against the undefeated Dmitry Bivol. With a record like his, it is no wonder that all his fights bring in huge amounts of PPVs.

While a fight between Canelo and David Benavidez has been long anticipated, it is nowhere near sight. Recently, Brooklyn-born undefeated fighter Edgar Berlanga went on Fight Hub TV to talk about how he is the right opponent for Canelo after Benavidez.

Edgar Berlanga wants to make a statement

Berlanga in the interview talked about his upcoming fight against Padraig McCrory. He later went on to talk about a possible fight against Alvarez in May. Berlanga said, “Yeah of course, Oh yeah you know that’ll be perfect because I’ll just be coming off a win, a beautiful win um I just feel like you know I got to perform this next fight I got to really make a statement,” showing that he really needs to beat McCrory dominantly in order to make his way into Canelo’s radar.
