Comments Thread For: Conor Benn: I Want To Test Myself Against The Best in The Division

[brettWall]

Hearn protecting a guy who doesn't want to be protected. What is next for this guy? Lipinets?

[Dakuwaqa]

I have no problem with Benn fighting the guys he is.

It wasn’t long ago he was struggling with domestic level fighters.

He’s clearly improved which he wouldn’t have done if they threw him to the wolves too early.

I do think this needs to be the last guy he fights at this level though.

Conor Benn has gone on a crash course in fighting southpaws ahead of his fight with Chris Van Heerden on Saturday night. He's not anticipating any difficulties at Manchester Arena on Saturday night and predicts things will only end one way.

Broner and Guerrero are the best for sure

[Silence]

He is limited asf. Can't see 5 rounds in a Crawford or Spence fight. Hearn created another PR machine like always.

Still a young man but why not try fighting them then if it's all about legacy.
He's on the same rematchroom shot old man diet Eddie has his star names on until they actually have to box a real contender.

I agree, its only a matter of time but at least he is making good money and getting a name for himself. He is soo open to a big overhand right that i can see him being brutally knocked out by the top welterweights. He is a little small for 147 and should of stayed at 140. Lets see how he gets on.

I think it is better that he is at 147, he is probably healthier. But yes his opponents maybe out weigh him on fight night, with Benn being less drained.

Benn will fight for a world title, I have no doubt about that. But winning a world title is another debate.

That is why I really think Benn himself, should of really tried to pick up British, European & Commonwealth titles. But of course some fighters these days with the marketability benefits of Benn, would rather skip the old traditional route to a world title fight etc.

He’s exciting if still raw, but let’s be honest here. Eddie wants to sell Benn PPVs on DAZN. Nothing must stand in the way of that goal, even if Benn has to fight whole old folks homes’ worth of has-beens until then.

[JakeTheBoxer]

Yes, you want to be tested fighting Mikey Garcia, Broner, Brook, Khan..

[hugh grant]

Yes, might as well step up but not sure who you can fight. Is Danny Garcia too much? If you lose, you lose like your pa pa did against watson. But you can comeback

[DaNeutral.]

I doubt Edie Hearn wants to test him against the best just yet. Powerful and fast but those eye catching, crowd pleasing knockouts are not hiding the fact that he is so damn easy to land on. The lad still has work to do, he really needs to become a harder target than he currently is.
