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

[Rodtang]

I don't care about sales since they're not going to give me anything from them. Ava is the fight to prove Benn is the real deal. Broner is the fight to make matchroom money we won't see. No fan should want the Broner fight more.

I dont want it either. Id much rather he was fighting Avanesyan and i believe he beats him. All im saying is that i fully understand why its an option for them and in the long run it makes sense to build his profile, for potentially bigger fights down the line. I'll tolerate it for a couple of fights for the greater good to his career, but he'll need stepping up soon.

[Rodtang]

Nope. I'm sure there's at least 20.000 willing to pay to see Benn being KO by Avanesyan. Just like the previous welter hype of Hearn, PBK.

So 20,000 Avanesyan fans then? Or perhaps you mean 20,000 Benn haters in general? Or maybe you mean 20,000 Hearn haters? You see, if you can be silly, I can be silly too.

So according to your reasoning, Benn and Boots Ennis are equals. Perhaps Benn should go after Boots, no?

Ennis had a much more solid amateur grounding, no? I wonder who Ennis fought on his 20th fight. And where will Benn be 8 fights from now? Benn can go after Ennis when he's ready. He's not ready. At at no time did I even mention Ennis. That was you. So if your an Ennis fan ( and I suspect you are ), shouldn't you be looking forward, instead of backwards to see if Benn is coming? That's what Ennis is doing. If his fans shared his confidence maybe they'd do the same.

Benn and young Edward are calling out everyone in the division except for Boots and Ortiz….especially those who are 10 years past it, recently retired, and such and who come from smaller divisions. Real courageous that Benn is….all ready to carry the torch of his legendary father innit

Well at least Eddie is Honest about Cherrypicking opponents for Benn. Basically he is just grabbing washed up American Names and using them as some sort of way to claim that Benn is "World Level" that is all they're doing.

Why not Ray Robinson at least? Ray was ROBBED vs Josh Kelly and Mean Machine so I guess he is too much for Benn right now as well even though he haven't gotten a fight since the Kelly fight 2 years ago. I don't mind building Benn up slowly I'm rooting for the kid because his dad is one of my favorite fighters of all time but yeah maybe STFU about how he is getting guys guys out faster than the other guys when he is fighting a much older and washed up version of these fighters. Stopping AB would be impressive though but that could prove to be dangerous too because maybe AB decides to let his damn hands go this fight like he did at 135 and pull the upset and jump start a career that looks dead. If it happens, AB should be motivated and also Insulted that they want to use him as a Doormat to a young fighters career. AB might as well fight Boots or Ortiz here in the U.S. honestly.

Please don't let it be the Ghost. The guy was one of my favorites fighters back in the 2000's. He's just a shell of a shell at this point and would suck to see him go out like that. Atleast Broner still has a little bit of punch resistance left in him.

Boots Ennis does NOT have an extensive amateur career so why can’t Benn go after him since they are both equal. Undefeated and under 26 years old.
Why Broner? Broner is garbage at this point.

Also, when exactly will Benn be ready for Crawford or Boots? When he’s 27?

He had 61 amateur fights won the golden gloves gold, silver and a youth gold in Reno vs Benn's 22 amateur fights and no such accolades and boot's also has had more pro experience as well.

They're not at all equivalent, they're in fact worlds apart and it's quite naive to think they're in anyway similar in terms of experience.

[joseph5620]

And what world beaters has Boots beaten to prove he is better than Benn?

Dulorme? Lipinets?

You guys want Benn to fight all the killers, but you don`t even realise Benn fights the same level opposition Boots and Ortiz jr. do.

No he doesn't. Stop lying.

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!

Floyd had an impressive amateur career before turning pro. This kid has been learning on the job and has actually improved and continues to do so. Why the rush.

[mexiFistology]

Hearn knows Benns behind them. He's said it countless times. That's why their building his experience and profile.

You said it yourself, “building his experience and profile” , not world championship material yet, he looked like trash against Adrien Granados
