Comments Thread For: Conor Benn Brutally Knocks Chris Algieri Out Cold in Fourth Round

[Rodtang]

Fair enough, but the others guys he faced were less skilled with big power and more skilled with less power. Just think style wise it will happen, when he can't use his skill to compensate for his lack of power.

I think Algieri might call time on his career now. After a brutal ko like that, and to be honest, nowhere to go, he has to think about keeping his faculties. He's an intelligent guy and a good analyst, so that will keep him involved with boxing.

I agree, he just gonna be a stepping stone for upcoming guys or a tune up for elite guys.

He has a name, he can fall back and capitalize on it with commentary or podcasts etc

...because Ennis hasn't been allowed to gain any significant momentum on PBC island. I think Ennis is really good, but Benn is being built into a potential star by Matchroom. Shoulder Roll created a thread when he asked about the stars that PBC have built...that weren't poached from GBP. PBC arguably has a star-making problem.

First of all Ennis isn't signed to PBC he just fights on their events on Showtime. Second - those fighters weren't poached or stolen. It just so happens that the guy who owns GBP was an alcoholic coke head who was too busy letting hookers stick kitchen utensils up his buttbutt instead of tending to his business. Those fighters were legally acquired by Haymon. Third - GBP was never going to turn any of their black fighters into stars. They promote Mexicans only. Fourth - And lets put this to rest now. Between Matchroom, GBP and TR...who has an American star? Canelo and Bud are free agents and AJ fights in the UK. TR's two most known fighters are Loma and Shakur...great fighters but no stars. GBP only semi-star is Rihanna Garcia but she is currently in negotiations with Instagram to be an **** bead model. Matchroom/DAZN only has two known American fighters in Andrade and Haney and their American profile is being destroyed on that app because absolutely nobody is watching that shyte. PBC has 3 fighters in Wilder, Spence and Tank that fight on PPV, two of them have consistently successful events. DAZN TR and GBP have no one that could even think about doing PPV. So someone please enlighten me as to where all of these 'stars' are please. Sorry to knock your ass off of your fantasy cloud 9 and drag you back down here to dataland, but somebody had to.

I think Algieri has this in the bag, has the experience and he always shows up to fight regardless if he wins or not

I just wanted to say next time don't say sh_ttt! U won't sound so dam dumb

How's that dumb if Benn is barely stepping up? Algieri always shows up to fight regardless just today was not his day. Good win for him they need to keep moving him at a steady pace

" it's easy to knock someone out who you know cant hurt you ". Same as it was for Spence then.

What point are you trying to make? Spence did knock him out like he was supposed to and he steamrolled him first. We aren't comparing Benn to Spence I'm talking about what took place today. As I stated Algieri has been semi-retired since that fight.

Depends on your definition of a star. There's being a star, achieving greatness and creating legacy in the sport. And there's being a star, being an attraction by taking easy to make, comfortable fights, and its when, not if the KO comes. I like to see success in achievement. I don't care much for bank balances. It's legacy chasers vs Dollar chasers and the dollar guys won't fight the legacy guys. If your a true boxing fan that wants the big fights, that's not what you want to hear. But too many fans just accept so called stars fighting safe fights, and say "well that's the modern way". Only because people are daft enough to pay for it.

Hey Confucius....just a star ok. Someone who is wildly popular not only with die hards but casuals and the general public. Sheesh!

Not stars are though. But attractions are.
