    He's better than a lot of people think but he's also a very flawed fighter.

    He reminds me of Anthony Yarde in some respects, physically gifted but winging it with the technique a fair bit.

    If he wants to be serious he can be, but he doesn't need to rush to the tip, he's 25, thats very young, I'd like to see him spend the next 2 years working on his technique with a top trainer and taking on good but not elite opponents.
    yep, no need to rush him at this point

      He will be a problem until? He is forced to use a different style other than being 100% aggressive.

      I have not really seen much creativity and boxing skills from Benn thus far in his career. Just all out aggression and his power winning fights.

      This style may be good enough to get him a world title fight, but staying a champion? I think he needs more area's to his game.

      But yes he is improving.

      I don't even think his power is that great, it is just that he has been match with fighters who where ready to be taken out. Some good fighters, but they where at that stage of their career when the could be overhaul with intensity.

      Brook vs Benn would of been a great test for Benn. Brook has power, and world class boxing skills.

      Benn would have to show different area's to his game.
