Bob Arum has named the only fighter he thinks is presenting a strong case to beat Saul “Canelo” Alvarez.
After becoming a multi-division champ, Alvarez has successfully convinced boxing fans that he is the pound-for-pound king.
When discussing the subject in a recent talk with a group of reporters, Top Rank boss Arum shockingly appointed one sought-after boxing sensation as the fighter who can possibly dismantle Alvarez.
According to Arum, the Mexican boxing superstar is unlikely to be beaten at the moment, but his super middleweight rising star Edgar Berlanga could put an end to Alvarez’s reign in about “two years” from now.
“I don’t think anybody beats Canelo,” Arum predicted. “He’s just that good. Maybe in two years or a year and a half, [Edgar] Berlanga [could].”
Indeed, Berlanga possesses incredible power in his hands and his undefeated professional record of 17-0 speaks highly of what he can do inside the ring.
In fact, his devastating knockout power has earned him the moniker people “Puerto Rican Mike Tyson.”
If Berlanga manages to continue his hot streak, a fight against Alvarez wouldn’t be impossible.
For now, the 24-year-old needs to collect a couple of titles to his name first before he could possibly earn a shot at “Canelo.”
