Comments Thread For: Conor Benn: If Josh Taylor Comes To 147 - That Could Be a Massive Domestic Fight

[PRINCEKOOL]

I think Kell Brook would beat Josh Taylor at 150-154 pounds. If that fight is made in the summer, I honestly think Brook at this stage still has enough in the tank to beat Taylor.

I don't really rate Josh Taylor very high, Conor Benn may well beat him.

It is a different ball game in the 147 pound divisions, and upwards.

Josh Taylor is a good fighter, but for me he is not apart of this super elite 'Where he is miles better than the rest'.

Fighters like Lamochenko, Alvarez, Crawford, Spence Junior, Kambosos Junior* maybe. These are the super elite fighters.

At Heavyweight it is Tyson Fury & Oleksandr Usyk.

Josh Taylor is a upper world class fighter, who just so happened to win 3 belts or however how many to become undisputed. He at the same level as Jermell Charlo as a example etc.

Conor Benn quickly becoming the British Ryan Garcia. You know, lotsa talk but never fights any quality opposition.

I like Conor Benn; he's brilliant to watch, IMO, and his actual boxing's improving all the time.
What I don't like is what I'm hearing out of this guy. Looking for the big cash instead of the legacy.

He's too young for that ****. Make a serious name for yourself, first, then you can command the serious money.

Concerned he hasn't actually got the hunger for this.

Benn has got that terrible Eddie Hearn mindset .Hearn goes in and calls Benn the future face of DAZN and off they both go .Great but to be a star and a name you need to fight someone conor has had 20 fights and fought no one and looks unlikely to until a huge payday. Fans are again being conned by Hearn at 20 and 0 he should at least be fighting for the European title but they know David Avanesyan would wipe the floor with him. Hearn is looking to do another Joshua with Conor which financially was amazing but in boxing terms not so amazing .Good luck to Benn but lets be real!

3 belt unified champion and world no 1 in 21 fights isn't amazing? Your a tough sell. But Hearn does that to some of you. With a promoter you like, that would be pretty amazing right? You've only one life. Don't let Hearn age you prematurely .

He would lay josh Taylor out flat. Ben is good. I think Brook would still beat him at this point but Benn has power he could stop Brook

Garcia just doesn't fight.

It will take Benn 40 fights to do what Josh did in twenty, maybe never at this rate.

You could school us with stories about that long list of quality fighters Benn has fought. Or maybe you could tell us again about how he’s a “problem “ for the welterweight division. Or (and this ones my favorite) you could tell us that story again about how Benn can run up and down the stairs faster than anyone.

So which one of Benns fights leads you to believe he’s “good”?
