    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.
    I mean cool, I guess I feel like Benn is a knockout/upset waiting to happen

      Building his career is exactly what he is doing, pick anyone you like and go look at their early resume.

        Eubanks junior inherited his dad chin. Benn junior inherited pa pas punch. Will Connor inherit his dad chin whose chin wasn't as tough as punch

          Dude, shut the fùck up already. Quit talking to me like you got something over me. You don't know me, what I know, or what I've done. You can't even see what's going on in a fight and you act like you're the curator of the boxing museum.

            Well, they seem to be keeping him away from anyone that can punch…

            the only opponent he’s faced with a KO% above 40% is Granados

            make of that what you will

              Nigel Benn had way above average punch resistance, way above average recuperative abilities.

              Not as good as Eubank Senior, but still very very very good.

                He was shouting after the fight "Easy work" Makes me think he's gonna get humbled quite soon. A lot of excellent fighters at his weight division.

                  but granadosnot that good and true algieri certainly is Paul malignagi level puncher. But connor needs to fight someone with a chin at least

                      He has improved and it is time to step it up. His right hand now is something to take notice of and he ducks down a lot giving a low hard to hit target.

                      Lets see what happens when he fights a top ten level fighter with a good chin and decent punching power. Benn is very energetic and will make an old fighter have to fight when they don't want to.
