Comments Thread For: Benn on Not Getting 'Hard Fights': 'We're Not Conning The Public'

[richardt]

Because Algieri took those beatings and his punch resistance is shot, that means Benn is level?!

Someone doesn’t understand what “eye test” means.

anybody with half a brain know the truth. And are comfortable with the facts.

You are far from an expert on determining what punch resistance Algerie has. That punch Benn landed could have done some damage on other welterweights as well. No one is saying Benn is on a specific level but he can still have great fights with the other contenders. And yes, some fighters that pass the eye test go on to make some noise. My original statement stands that Benn, Stanonis, Rashid Ellis, Ortiz, Ennis, and others would make a great bunch of fights to see who rises like the cream of the crop. Anyone with an IQ above a dead frog could see that was a powerful punch that Benn landed and no one can say that would not have hurt other welterweights. It is obvious he can punch with power.

He's fighting Avanesyan after though. The eliminator is on hold ,as the Mckinson fight was practically done when it was ordered

Fair enough

Ok but the fanfare Hearn is giving him and the way he says he's coming through he can't be top of the bill fighting nobodies and no doubt Hearn will be looking for a cheeky ppv shortly. Ekow would be a good match up for the British and European titles , Benn has had 20 fights now and Ekow 16 ....so time to see at this level where he's at.

But Ortiz and Ennis are both nowhere near their peak too, so they'd both be great fights to make now.

Sure, But it’s not like they’re looking to fight each other either.

It seems like only Conor Benn is the one that gets flak for not fighting top opponents when others in similar position aren’t either. After 14 fights, Ennis was still fighting a guy 3-18, and his last opponent was coming off back to back losses against C level fighters. I get the feeling Conor Benn would get slated if that was him.


Anyway I think, Benn is fighting the right fights he should be fighting right now. The problem is that his promoter Hearn is conning the public because he keeps saying the next fight is going to be a top 10 opponent and then picks someone like Chris Algieri , and because Conor Benn attracts quite a casual fan base, a lot of the viewers don’t realise that Chris Algieri hasn’t been top 10 since about 2014.

So in a way they are conning the public. Hearn is anyway.

Is that so? You really think Ryan Garcia wanted to fight whoever the foook it is he’s fighting next? Why hasn’t the tank fight happen yet? DLH and his team have the final say. You really think Virgil Ortiz wants to fight McKinson??

Literally 10-15 mins BEFORE Ryan walked out to fight campbell

Garcia recieved a phone call, wishing him good luck and telling him what’s next!

RYAN Walked away and claimed he’s getting pac man.

and the rest WE ALL KNOW.

You have clearly been in a coma for the last two years so I’ll let someone else fill you in on what’s happened! But don’t dare act as though Ryan wanted Tank! You ****** bias troll. Your username shows which corner your in.

clueless fanboys are literally every fugging we’re.

Watch you be like 3 times Ryan’s age too.

Yup I think he’s happy fighting McKinson, that’s why he’s taken the fight what’s offered to him. He gets to raise his profile in UK. Win win.

now for the one ****** example you thought helped your case, I can give you 20 examples of fighters wanting a bout to happen.

fancy using Ryan García of all people FFS.
this is the level of knowledge we working with!

ima stop quoting all you fan boys who can’t handle truth. When you run out of answers you change subject so quick it’s unreal. You ran into another wall this time. What an idiot. Lmfao.

now let’s go back to the real subject at hand shall we? Which is Conor Benn!
