Comments Thread For: Nigel Benn Supports Conor Benn Facing Chris Eubank Jr at Higher Weight

[Nusky]

Another Sh#tty cash grab fight no one asked for. Good job boxing....

Garbage!

Pathetic Eubank fighting a smaller guy when he could be and SHOULD BE fighting at 160-168 but instead he wants to fight a Welterweight...GARBAGE! He beats Benn though, he should since he will be much bigger regardless of a catchweight, come fight night Eubank will be a Super Middleweight maybe even a Light Heavy so I don't think Benn punches will effect him at all

Don't like this fight at all. Should be fairly simple for Chris, but dangerous for Conor. It's just about money isn't it? The British coverage is going to be so tedious talking about the rivalry of their dads - super cheesy. I never watch that stuff though, I'm just interested in the fight, that's it.

Benn sells more in the UK. Nobody in the US will give a damn about him, as where in the UK he's the next big thing, as long as he keeps winning, for general sports fans at least anyway.

Ok so he can keep fighting has beens and never was’ and be the next eubank jr. You understand you’re simply making excuses for him to be nothing more than a domestic attraction. If that’s the case no one outside of the U.K. should take him seriously then

Lol. Exactly. I ask you this. Should Davis leave PBC to go to Top Rank? Apply all the logic, that you just came up with, to his scenario, and it's exactly the same thing. It's hard to accept isn't it. I can accept that Benn's career could be great at PBC. He can get ALL the big fights. But it's not going to happen, but you insist it should. Would you insist on Davis going to Top Rank? He won't make as much money, but he'll get the best fights for his career and can be a proper legend. You make a good point old bean, but there's clear irony here. Surely you can see the parallels.

I must have missed when Nigel Benn was inducted into the Hall Of Fame.

Oh yeah, because he wasn't.

What are u talking about?? He's a legend and he has been in the hall for fame for years u imbecile

Rodtang - the comparison with Davis is not a good one.
1) Davis has fought quality, up to now Benn hasn't
2) Davis is an American so he doesn't have titles available to fight for outside world titles. (Yes, I know there are NABA & USBA but no-one takes them seriously). Benn, by contrast, could fight for British & European titles & has chosen to turn his back on that.
3) Davis is being called out by Ryan Garcia, a LW of his own age. Benn is being called out by CEJ , a 160 fighter who desperately wants to make some gelt before his uninspiring career finally hits the skids.

Erm, no. No he hasn’t.
