    Eddy is doing his job. I don't like how he does it sometimes, but when he does it right, there's nothing to talk about. I think Eddy needs to put Benn on the road, see the world. Learn what its like not being the hometown hero. Against a lesser light, of course, but away from the enablers.

      Eddie a garbage promoter but I actually like benn. He’s got great power. I know by “elite” names Eddie means adrien broner but I’d like to see him vs ortiz ennis danny garcia would be a nice gauge.

        To be honest, even though these names are washed-up they pose a threat to Conor Benn, minus Adrien Broner.

          I'd actually like to see him against Thurman too. I believe that's a 50-50 now. Thurman isnt who he once was and could beat Benn and prove he may still have something left or Benn could beat Thurman and have a legitimate case for being grouped with a higher level than he is given credit for. The DSG fight would be awesome too as long as Danny didnt just show up to be a punching bag.

            By elite, he means Adrien Broner, Kell Brook, Robert Guererro etc.

            He even named Brook in this exact same interview on IFLTV.

            Just fight someone in the Top 10. Is that too hard to ask?

            I hear David Avenesyan wants the fight. He's ranked #8.

              "Kell Brook, a Mikey Garcia, Danny Garcia, an Adrien Broner, a Keith Thurman. . "

              All fighters that are on the downward slope.
