Comments Thread For: Hearn on Conor Benn After Van Heerden KO: We Have to Step Up the Opposition Now

[Mammoth]

Thurman, now

It won't be Thurman

[tokon]

"Mikey Garcia, Danny Garcia, Keith Thurman, Adrien Broner, all these guys, David Avanesyan . . . "

Guarantee it'll be none of those guys!

I’m not so sure I’d pick Adrien Broner to even beat Van Heerden if they were to fight, so I don’t consider that a step up.

Thurman is a possibility. I think after how Spence looked against Ugas, all of a sudden Thurman might not be quite so eager for the Spence fight, so I could see it.

Danny Garcia is a good fight, that’s a winnable fight for Benn and it’d be an excellent scrap.

Yah know Eddie, Vergil Ortiz Jr fights on DAZN, just sayin…..

Come to USA and be exposed, lil bro

Wouldn't mind seeing him against Mean Machine

[thack]

Broners out of hospital so could be next!

[Corelone]

Benn needs to learn, he just can't walk through punches. The way he went at Vaderheer was reckless, he got hit solid, but Vandenberg isn't a big puncher. Stay home and enjoy Eddy's cooking.

Benn vs Boots.... If he wants a step up in competition, and not some name. Make that fight for your boxer, Eddy. Test him. Before you start treading too deep in the "superstar" waters.

I hate how boxing is like, face 20 weak opponents and 1 strong opponent. Lose, face five more weak opponents before a strong one. A bunch of "men" who will be too emotionally damaged by losing their "0", all trying to convince us they are the best.

Fight the best, and put the talking to rest.

Nah, I'm not trying to see him beat up some random east European.

Go fight Jaron Ennis. Two guys near their peaks, 24 and 25 years old and on the rise. if they want a crack at the belts. They may as well fight each other to solidify a claim to the opportunity.

Now a fight between Been, and Ennis is a fight that would test each of them I would love to see them in action.
No more of these wringer's in the ring against these young lions, we need to see competitive fights.

If Benn signs up to fight Avaneseyan, I'll pickle my hat & devour it with fries.
