Comments Thread For: Conor Benn Views Eliminator as Only Way to Fight Keith Thurman

Because he's in the Top 10.

So far he's fought 0, is he going to fight someone in the Top 10 at some point or what?

Benn's also in the top ten. Why would he want to fight a guy who is fighting Europe's no 11? If Avanesyan was fighting top opposition then yes. But he ain't. So no. And Avanesyan is going to be fighting Ortiz Jnr , in a final Eliminator. So he's not even gonna be available. And yet some people can't get him out of their heads. Avanesyan isn't that important in the bigger picture.

Exactly, Benn is in the Top 10.

Yet he's fought 0 Top 10 opponents.

Is he ever going to fight one?

I'd imagine so. They're saying now it's time to step him up, so here's hoping. He's just been learning his trade. That's normal.

Benn is usingThurman's name, Ennis is using Thurman's name.
Why can't these clowns just fight each other? One loss is a huge deal in this sport.
Expect these two fight a long list of cans.

Dear Connor Been PBC control's 147 and 154, so for you to get big fights you have to leave Dazn... the only big fight is with Ortiz and golden boy... good luck working with Oscar... if they wanted that fight it would be made already

Dream big, fight small, to be the son of legend.

Why fight Boots ? He chose the IBF path. If he wanted Benn, he would have mentioned him. He never mentions Benn. And Boots is probably less known in the UK than Avanesyan.

UK here... We've noticed Mister Ennis. Not many people calling his name. Shame, because I'm itching to see him in a competitive matchup...

[Elastic Recoilz]

Thurman would put Benn in the ground... Benn's needs to watch his mouth because sooner or later he's gonna meet one of the many welter's he's been calling out and the ending will not be pretty!

[El Más Loco]

Benn is just using Thurman's name to garner attention....a lot of these younger guy's seem to use the clout chasing strategy nowadays and it is pathetic. Hearn goes out of his way to always downplay PBC fights/fighters (and Top Rank) but think they will convince a PBC fighter to go fight? Lol please don't insult my intelligence.

[PotentialToast]

Money talks so Benn will get opponents because they get paid well. This is why Avenysian has problems.

This is funny https://www.youtube.com/embed/LnJ1rAtWL_A
