conor benn is a problem for the welterweight division

[Madison Boxing]

If his name was Conor Smith and not Conor Benn this thread wouldn't exist.

i think its the opposite mate, people always su****ious of sons of legends and think they are a novelty act. conor is a 100 percent legitimate welterweight prospect.

He throws punches very well. It is one of the biggest issues in boxing, throwing punches in bad form. At every level. But he appears to do that well. Problem is how he leaves him self opened for counters. So what happens when he faces an opponent that uses defense and counters? Also what happens when he faces an opponent that can take a punch and has power? His matchmakers need to keep these things in mind.

He said the bums at welterweight. Meaning Benn is a problem for the mediocre/bad fighters there and won’t be an issue to the elites.

who should benn fight next....

I'm very impressed with how fast he improved, he had a bad night what that french boxer which after that he improved very fast.

At least in his last 7 - 8 fights he didnt fight journeymen like most of the other up and comers.

[Earl-Hickey]

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.

He is rising contender just like Boots and Ortiz. All three are already top 10 by the Ring.
