Comments Thread For: Hearn Still Hoping To Make Benn vs. Broner Showdown

[DClefthook]

Beating Broner is meaingless at this point. He's been exposed and embarrassed too much for it to matter. Giving that career crook a handout just to have him on your record is quite sad. However the crtiques from some above are dumb. Ortiz amd Ennis wouldn't pass on fighting Broner either. It's a step backwards for all these guys, but not one would pass it up.

So sad what Broner's career has come down to. Now he's going to be paid to get beat up by the up and comers. There is no way shape or form he wins a fight against Benn on DAZN. If he was serious he still has time to make a legit return and not to play the role of the Washington Generals to the Harlem Globetrotters. And yes Boots and Virgil will jump at the chance to land a high profile lucrative fight with AB too.

Because even if broner is washed up he still has a bigger name than the guys you just mentioned.

So does Elvis that doesn't mean anyone wants to see them fight

Why doesn't he fight the same an American hype job would at the same point in his career then if he's protected lets see .. same point in career for Jared Ennis he fought Mike Arnaoutis 26 10 losses 2 draws . So if Benn is over protected then how bad is Ennis then ???

Must just be Ennis then lets look at Olympian heavy weight Deontay Wilder and we'll give him three more fights than Benn at which point he fought someone who lost their six .. he was an Olympian !! How is that even possible ???

I mean seriously do you even watch boxing ??

The only one I could find and just go he's just doing it right is Vergil Ortiz Jr but for every one of him there are many more over protected hype jobs.

How about a little less emotional rambling and a little more substance next time? Benn is telling everyone he’s top 5 and in the next sentence asks for Broner or winner of khan vs Brook. Typical delusional Brit talk and once he crosses the pond and actually starts to face valid opposition, he’ll be exposed just like the rest were from Hatton to khan to Naz etc.

Some showdown....This wouldn't make a Chavez Jr vs Somebumski undercard.

Very bad fight for Broner. Broner is arguably past his prime and absolutely gets stopped by this young hungry lion. Broner could make more money facing less dangerous opposition.

Meh, I'm cool with it.

A good way to introduce the younger Benn to the American public.

The smartest comment by far

[Tony Green]

I’m with you lads on this one, Benn just wants to feats on old no hopers until he gets a title shot. Shameful how this is playing out, they want no part of Ortiz or Ennis that much is clear. His father was literally my favourite fighter ever, but this Eddie Hearn protect the meal ticket jazz is a massive turn off. But oh well, as long as the matchroom shills and casual sweet Caroline’s eat it up I reckon

Says the number 1 shill

I give up on the hype and try to enjoy what I get. Broner is probably Benn's speed, it's the talk about Benn's boxing acumen that gets amplified. If Benn was all that good, Hearn wouldn't be playing these games.

The only games he's playing is trying to build his fighters name up in a different market, it makes logical business sense, benn is still young, there's plenty of time for these fights that u and the other crazed anti Conor guys are calling for, this is a business decision and a particularly good one, I have no doubt at all that of benn passes these tests he'll be ready for Ortiz or Ennis, but why make those fights now when he can build his name and his brand and make those fights way more lucrative in the near future

To calzaghe to fury oh wait

There are always exceptions to the norm but let’s be real about Calzaghe, he came over to face a couple of 40 plus yr olds, he stayed put when those fights really would’ve meant something.
