    That's a matter of opinion. Titles and belts are common, I can't name all the belt holders now.

      My feeling is Khan don't want no smoke. He is really retired while carrying on throwing out invitations. If Khan wanted he could & should beat up Benn because he is at another level from Conor.

        Khan already making excuses talking about it has to be for a World Title

        He can likely beat AB who doesn't let his damn hands go

        As for Porter...no he is not ready for that level just yet

          To be fair to Amir Khan, he's at the point where his next fight might be his last and is clearly looking to cash out -- and I dont't blame him. Fighting Benn would do nothing for Khan, but something for Benn. From Khan's perspective, the age-old question applies: what's in it for me?

            Who’s he beat better than McKinson though?

            I just think it’s all smoke and mirrors with Benn. Reminds me of what Frank did with Yarde. They’re avoiding the domestic talent for a reason.

              Khan wants a big payday. Benn can’t give him one. Not yet at least anyway.

                  I have no reason to rate McKinson higher than Formella.

                    But broner and porter he has zero chance against them it would be barbaric the beating porter would put on Benn and broner would embarrass/totally outclass him
                    Broner and Khan would annihilate Benn? Yeah right. Based on what? Broner couldn't even "annihilate" Santiago who Benn is easily better than. Khan has a famously weak chin and got dropped by Vargas. Benn's explosiveness would be too much for Khan and would put Broner in a shell. They are both past their best before date and are there to be taken at this stage. Porter would be a different story but not Broner and Khan. Khan has hand speed but that's it. He's still too easy to hit clean and would be knocked into oblivion if Benn lands on him while Amir throws his flurries and gets timed. He would have to box perfect for 12 rounds. I don't know what world you're living in that makes you think Benn wouldn't stand a chance against either.

                      Absolutely. None of those fights makes any sense. The dude is just a bias fan who doesn't want to see a British fighter who he has previously trashed beat someone more relevant.
