Comments Thread For: Hearn Ready To Match Benn With Broner, Guerrero - But Not Avanesyan Just Yet

[YoungManRumble]

Lol yikes. I mean at least Broner is closer to 30 than 40 and quit drinking allegedly...

“You Europeans” I love how Americans say that as if Europe isn’t an entire continent with many different countries. Embarrassing lol

I love how you assume anyone criticizing your heroes to be Americans.
Instead of arguing against the facts I pointed out you go on a personal rant trying to expose my ignorance.
I know more about geography, history and politics than you could possibly dream of. I’m pretty aware of how Europe is broken up.
Benn just happens to be English but England is not the only nation out of Europe that churns out “quality” guys who get bamboozled once the cross the Atlantic

Nope. Get in the back of the line, Behind Vergil Ortiz and Boots Ennis. Not just because your Daddy has a name means you deserve it more than the ones infront of you

Really? Floyd won his first title at 23. Sugar Ray Leonard was 23 when he won his first title at 23 vs Winfredo Benitez, Teofimo was 23 when he beat Loma, Oscar was 24 … many of the top guys at 130-147 are under 25 years and you Europeans say “no need to rush” a 25 year old with over 20 fights, while clamoring to fight Broner!!!
How popular or relevant is Broner in the UK? Seriously? Broner of all guys!

All those fighters you mentioned had extensive amateur careers. Benn did not. He’s still very much a novice learning on the job. It just makes me laugh how many people want him to fight the likes of Ennis and ortiz which I’m not against but the same people have a million excuses why charlo shouldn’t fight Andrade or why tank shouldn’t fight anyone with a pulse.

Nobody is in rush to fight Avanesyan. He is just dangerous.

[Mammoth]

I'd pick Benn to beat Ava

[Buggy bear]

The kid is developing nicely. No need to rush him into any 50/50 fight just yet. He has time. Hearn should continue doing what he is doing with him. No rush.

So competive sport is about only competing against people you can beat then ? The man is 25 FFS and been arsed wiped well beyond the permitted norm. His dad has certain values where boxing is concerned and if it were anybody else being arse wiped like his boy he he would voice them .

Guererro???

Fight someone in the Top 10 or don’t bother.

”Not ready” for Avanesyan?? I thought Hearn said Benn was world level?

It's ironic you'd say that because half the fans crying about Benn are PBC ass lickers and one of their heroes, Wilder didn't start fighting a string of career heavyweights till after Audley Harrison (28 years old) and arguably didn't fight his first somewhat decent one till he was 33 and he had a more "extensive" amateur career than Benn.

Disagree with your sentiment. I’m a big fan of what I see from Benn so far. But we should be opposed to these gentle inclines promoters put their fighters on, with commercial self-interest at its root.

The man will sink or swim with a serious contender, and I believe he’s good enough to swim with the best of them. If I’m proved wrong, then fine, he gets a loss. But whatever, losing isn’t the end of the world. He can come back, and some of the best have had losses.

The sport of boxing would be a far better environment for fans if the obstacles to matchmaking got the hell out of the way and let these guys off the leash
