Comments Thread For: Jose Ramirez vs. Conor Benn Eyed For July 9 In London, Says Eddie Hearn

[Mammoth]

So it was a feasible fight then? I'm sure Eddie and Benn would take the fight. It's high risk at this point, but high reward too. Avanesyan is too risky as it brings no reward.

Eddie has not once called for Thurman though. Benn has said he'd like that fight. But Eddie has always said it's too soon for him. So you're wrong on that count.

But who are these past fighters Hearn has done this with like you claimed?

I said Thurman and Porter. Jesus, I didn't **** your sister or something. It's Conor Benn chill out.

But we know that isn't feasible for many reasons. Wanting to fight Ramirez very much is.

And therein lies the difference.

Ramirez moving up to 147 to fight Benn is precisely as likely as me fighting Mayweather next Tuesday on the moon.

0% chance.

And therein lies the point.

He's not gonna get Thurman. If your Thurman, why are you fighting Benn? It does nothing for him. Thurman wants Spence or Crawford. And if he can't get them he'll fight another PBC guy. Montana love doesn't have the profile yet their after.

Because you're not getting Spence or Crawford! Either one that wins is going to 154! Spence because he NEEDS to! Crawford because he WANTS Jermell Charlo! If Thurman was smart, he would go after Jermell Charlo b4 either one gets to 154! Hearn will give Thurman the Big Bag to fight Conor Benn! He should take it! If you're afraid of Conor Benn, RETIRE!

It's that kinda division at the moment, where everybody wants someone they can't have. Hopefully we get the undisputed fight, and then the belts get fragmented, and then lots of good fights to follow.

Not sure about that! Boots will win a title @ 147, and go right after Spence, Charlo, or Crawford! Vergil already struggling to make 147!

It's all gonna come down to the undisputed fight imo. And everyone else will tick over. Once the belts are vacant, Ennis fights for IBF, Benn for WBA, Taylor for WBO and Ortiz for WBC if he can make 147. Spence and Crawford probably go up to 154. Spence will, win or lose. Crawford will if he wins. Not sure if he loses. That's my Nostradamus prediction for today

Ramirez very much could take the fight for the second biggest payday of his career. It's a big fight. Plus we don't know how much it takes out of him to make 140.

If he was guaranteed a shot at a tile next at 140, then i wouldn't hold any hope for the fight happening. But does he really want to hang around fighting a scrub for peanuts instead of a big occasion this would be should he not get a title shot next?

Even Arum budged when they offered the 4 Mill for the Hooker fight way back. Could happen again.

You going to the moon for a fight with Mayweather? Less than zero.

When did Eddie use Thurman as a name drop? All he' said was that Benn would like it. Hearn hasn't said he's going to put in an offer or anything. So you're wrong on that one.

So this "History" comes down to naming Porter? What a monster Eddie is.

You got a lot of IFL and Boxing Social interviews memorized pretty well I take it?

[FinitoxDinamita]

This is a proper step up fight for Benn so I dont know why some people have problems with this. This is actually a big step up for today's standards. Since when was Ramirez a gimmie? Lol
im very excited about this matchup.
