Comments Thread For: Canelo Alvarez keeps his date regardless of UFC and opponent

[boxing IQ]

If any boxer could stand up to that event, it would be Canelo

Casuals prefer to watch boxing over MMA anyway

Does Berlanga hit harder than GGG? It would be a BIG upset if he hurts Canelo, but Canelo has defense and offense. We will see.

well GGG splattered Steve Rolls and Berlanga went the distance with him (and arguably lost) - this should tell you all you need to know.

berlanga deserved a draw at best against steve rolls, a guy that golovkin blasted out in 4 rounds a few years prior. don't buy into the boxing media trying to hype this fight. this match-up is complete garbage. i wouldn't even pick berlanga to beat guys like gabe rosado or shane mosley jr....this fight is WEAK.

the post above me says that berlanga is extremely overrated. that's not true, nobody rates that guy. this fight is on par with the time canelo fought avni yildrim

Or when he fought Kirkland who previously was annihilated by Ishida in one round and they tried to portray him as "dangerous" going into the fight.

Canelo's PPV numbers have steadily been trending down....I imagine this will do even worse with Berlanga and going up against the UFC.

With that opponent, vs UFCs once in a lifetime Sphere event, there’s only one winner there.

Canelo’s ego is going to get his feelings hurt when the PPV numbers come in way behind the UFC card.

People need to stop acting like canelo is some mega star that doesn’t need to worry about ufc. Don’t forget that dazn forced him to sit gloved up for an 90 min in order to allow a ifc fight between two guys with 25 losses between them to fight first. Canelo vs Berlanga probably won’t surpass 300k ppvs.

Well said! But it’s iin the boxing media’s best interests to keep pumping up Canelo and keep justifying the Las Vegas junkets to cover “the face of boxing.” You would think this would have ended after Canelo got his ears boxed off by Bivol - and drew low PPV numbers in the process. But some bad habits just won’t die.

What a joke. He should retire but he won't. Can Crusher Canelo, I mean.
