Comments Thread For: Khan Reacts To Hearn Saying Conor Benn Would KO Him in Two Rounds

[thack]

Conor Benn is limited but live and hits , he's the last person chinny Khan needs at this point ...remember Khan was knocked out in 56 seconds by the decent but average Prescott. Kell Brook looked shot last time out and Khan NOW fancies the job .If Khan wants to drag out what's left of his career he needs shot fighters like himself.

Benn will most likely call out the winner of Khan -Brook fight.

Conor Benn: I Don't Need Tune-Ups; Hearn Eyeing Hooker, Broner, Guerrero

Matchroom Boxing head Eddie Hearn alluded to more feasible opponents for Benn, who is currently ranked as the No. 5 contender by the WBC, WBA and IBF, and No. 7 by the WBO.

"Broner would like a fight before because he is on a new crusade of seriousness where he wants to have one last run at it," said Hearn. "He says he's ready for Conor Benn, but wants to fight in March if possible. If not, two names we like are Robert Guerrero and Maurice Hooker at The O2 [in London]. It will be one of those three names most likely."

Hearn being key there though. Benn never mentions anyone other than Khan or Brook with the exception of Broner which I've heard him personally mention once or twice at best. Hearn throws names out all the time but the fights dont materialize.

khan may just be KO'ed in -2 rounds these days

i mean 2 jabs of that vax and he was out for 2 weeks

actually when he heard he had to take a few jabs the colour just drained from his face in fear

That's because 90% of the time he's throwing out names of people who have nothing to do with MatchRoom or DAZN! I believe Hooker is still signed to MatchRoom?

Eddie's wrong in saying that about Khan who he's helping promote. It'd probably be around four.

I think Benn prefers a domestic level. He hasn't mentioned anybody other than Khan or Brook with the exception of Broner and Broner is a name at best nowadays and poses zero threat to Benn. I think Hooker could be a real test for him though.

To be fair there's loads of domestic opposition for him to compete against

I don't expect him to beat everybody at that level but he hasn't beaten a single decent domestic opponent nor won any recognised title

I like Benn, but I'd like to see him take on a highly ranked Brit/European for a British, Commonwealth or European title. Somebody on the up rather than another fading has been for a Mickey mouse alphabet belt

I say 6. Benn will follow Khan until Khan gets tired. I even think Khan slaps Benn around some, before amir's legs give out.

It would be a good fight if it came to be but I'm not sure that's where Benn is at in his head..... maybe I'm just not sold on Benn I haven't made my mind up yet honestly.

I'd like to see him against anybody other than a pillow fisted Algeri type.
