    My First Time Seeing Benn

    He's ok, would like to see him step up in opposition, he looks ready for something bigger than Brook or Khan. Hearns seems set on one of those two though, I get it that he's there to make himself and Benn as much money as he can, but I would rather see something else.

    He's going to get caught lacking big time at the world level I think we all know that, they are going to milk the name for all its worth and wait until an "easy" path to a vacant WBO or something comes up and then it'll be "the boyhood dream has come true"

    It's cynical but its also what I'd do if I was promoting him. He's never going to make it to the top so make him as much money as I could.

      Another old has-been for him to pad his record out with. He's going to get cleaned up the first time he's in the ring with someone who will actually fight back.

        He’s a KO waiting to happen.

          He needs to fight someone in the Top 10.

          No more unranked fighters.

              - - Ugh! Conor and Ugas gotta be the ugliest fighters in boxing with both highly ranked in the same division.

              Combined ugly rating may be a new record for ugly...make it so...

                That would be a good fight in my opinion.

                  If you was his promoter would you trust putting him into the ring with Mikey?

                  If Mikey Actually shows up, it's gonna be trouble, he knows how to survive so Benn is gonna have to win on points

                    I would, because out of the Welterweights who are available, who else has profile but actually gives Benn credibility (if he wins)?
                    They're using pbc welterweight names that'll never happen. Danny Garcia is a tough mofo and has a chin.
                    They won't be putting him in with Vergil Ortiz anytime soon either, they're looking at fighters they think might be finished but still have a name.
                    Maurice Hooker is an option for them, not a bad name.
                    Is prograis a ww now? that's a solid fight.
