Comments Thread For: Conor Benn on Not Waiting Around For Brook: 'The Money Will Come. I'm About Legacy'

[ShoulderRoll]

If you're being protected and spoon-fed cherries that's all well and good. Lots of fighters have manufactured careers.

Just please keep your mouth shut and don't talk big about any legacy.

[mlac]

possibily the most protected fighter in boxing atm.

[tokon]

Who his next two or three fights are will show whether all this talk is just more bs.

“About legacy”.

You’ve rejected English title eliminators you f***ing fraud. If you’re about legacy go and fight Essuman for the British or Avanesyan for the European, titles your Dad missed out on. Or better yet fight somebody in the top 10 instead of washed zombies like Algieri, Van Heerden, Vargas etc.

lol tell us how you really feel guv!

Brook was not shying away from Benn, Brook stated the requirements for the fight.

Benn & Team Match Room backed out.

Benn is alright, but maybe in future he needs to be more measured in his vocals.

I honestly think Brook would beat Benn at 150-154 pounds.

Conor, if you were interested in legacy, you would've fought for Commonwealth, British & European titles. If you were interested in legacy, you would've fought Mckinson & Essumann. You're interested in Gelt. I don't blame you but don't try to mug us off. We aren't all as gullible as the Wapping boxing writers.

He's about legacy, but has been a Pro for 6 years and hasn't fought 1 top 10 guy. That goes for him, Ortiz, and Ennis.

Man aint gonna lie you was spot on there. He is definitely being protected but its because he is learning. However i think at some point you gotta let him out of his bubble because hes in the top 10 in the WBA and is number 5 somehow lol.
He has never fought a top 5 guy before. I think this is just going to go horribly wrong for him and its because they let him move up to Welterweight and they have protected him too much. He is not naturally a welterweight and i actually think he would of done better if he had stayed at light welter. Be interesting to see how he does today.

I don’t mind if he’s learning, just don’t lie to us. If Hearn/Benn came out and said look he’s raw he needs to develop so we’re gonna match him carefully, I’d be cool with that. It’s the fact they lie and try and pretend he’s some world class operator when he’s fighting no hopers.

Toss Mr. Legacy into the ring with Avanesyan, please.

[JakeTheBoxer]

Ok, fight Stanionis.
