    I think he is top prospect, like Ortiz jr, Boots and Yeleussinov.

    All these guys will have world champion belts.

      Agreed. I kinda don’t like the Chavez jr type sissy following in his father’s foot steps.

        Still too early to say, but he is exciting to watch and clearly has talent and power. There are those who are ready to bow at his feet. There are those who want to hate on him, or would see him thrown into a tough fight before he is ready. Personally, I like to see exciting fights, so I am enjoying the ride. Samuel Vargas is little more than an old gatekeeper, he got ruined by Virgil Ortiz Jr. Look at what David Avenasyen did to Josh Kelly. Why not Conor Benn vs. Avenasyen next? I am not ready to call Conor a world-beater just yet. His style is one which will be nullified by somebody who can take his power, or who can smother his work, or otherwise nullify his offence. Think Shawn Porter. Conor looks massively improved in a very short time, but there are still way more questions than answers when it comes to this kid. He looks great against the right opponent, and I think Eddie Hearn knows that. The fighters they called out in the aftermath is quite a telling list. Old, chinny and low-output. Sounds good for his 0. What about high-output? Granite-chinned? Prime? We will see. The kid did great against Vargas, so props to him.

          Benn deserves a little hype. Just look, Americans already think Ortiz jr. will be 3 division champ because he beat Vargas.

                I didn`t forget, but Tim is not at 147.

                  That fight was a joke. Sure benn probably would have won in regardless, but Vargas was even hurt. Anyone who follows boxing knows Vargas has an iron jaw. I think Ortiz will toy with Benn. Boots would do so even worse.

                    Based on what?

                    All 3 are top prospects. None of them fought any really dangerous 147 guy so far.
