    What are you talking about. He virtually got beaten an old washed up one shouldered Manny in his last real fight and claims it as his greatest victory. That guy was boxing's greatest hype machine.

      He's a hype job as a promoter. He's a joke and his fake hair fell out.

        Well Eddie job is to build him up into a Star and that is what he is doing domestically

        He has some talent but no he is not World Level just yet, that is still to be determined of course. Can he be World Level one day, Potentially yeah but 147 World Level is Stacked and will be very difficult but he continues to improve sure he could "Compete" but I don't put him in that Group with Boots Ennis and Victor Ortiz

          Benn is EXACTLY where he needs to be...
          Build the kid up, Khan/Brook should be next.
          (Their ego's won't allow it tho)

            Easy to say when the fight is over. You keep quiet like a snake creeping in the woods not making any prediction. Don't know how old you people are.

              If anybody was saying he is the 2nd coming of Ali or was definitely going to achieve all his father Nigel achieved then id say calm the fkk down but they ain't. They saying he has promise and this was a good win considering where he is in his career.

              I predicted he would lose this fight, I'm not overly impressed with Benn even though he is clearly improving.

              Quite clearly the problems Mr Giggles has here are 1, He is an Eddie Hearn fighter and 2 he isn't American.

                He's good but man is he unlikeable. So arrogant. His dad was a humble guy especially in defeat.

                  Benn is better than I thought he was, improved a lot over the last few years. May be able to pick up a belt v a weak title holder or at least challenge for a title.

                  He's very quick, hits with spite and has some solid twitch reflexes. Would be a handful for anyone. Probably hasn't got the chin, size or smarts to be one of the true top dogs, but he would come to fight that's for sure.

                    Hated to see Algeri fed to Benn seeing as how I honestly thought Chris was retired and working as a nutritionist these days. He never had a shot.

                      It's just typical matchmaking from Hearn, he's selling crap like this to casuals to build up Benn with no regard for Algieri. He could have got hurt tonight and was lucky he didn't.
