Comments Thread For: Conor Benn: If We Could Make That Fight With Mario Barrios Next, I'd Be Over The Moon

Just out of curiosity, why can’t Benn fight Barrios on a pbc card? Pbc fighters have fought on ESPN and dazn, what’s with matchroom fighters not being able to fight on pbc cards?

id say hearn is terrified of putting eggie in with anyone decent or good before the mega fight happens

This is a sold matchup. Barrios looked tremendous against Ugas, but Ugas showed up slow and old. Benn is in the peak of his physical prime. It's a step up fight for Benn, but I think he's ready for it. A 50/50 fight IMO.

Barrios is a mega fight? LOL mannnn stop it

British and Aussie fans often times believe second and third tier American fighters are elite. That’s why they’ll call out guys like Broner, Barrios etc.
Take a look at a 45 year old Roy got beat in Australia by Danny Green. They called Green’s “incredible KO of Roy” the “greatest triumph on Australian soil”.

A 52 year old Floyd Mayweather could one day decide to make a comeback and fight Kangaroo Jack in Australia and it would be hailed as the greatest win ever by Australians.

I still remember when that idiot Green said "to become a legend you have to beat a legend" when he fought a 45-year old Jones. Pathetic for Green to say that.

I remember the Australian commentary during the fight when he had Roy in trouble: "To be a legend you've gotta beat a legend."

It was a sad occasion seeing Roy get beaten up like that.

The commentary team said it during the fight too, was it some kind of strapline for the event?

Barrios can beat hen house Benn. He has more skill, he boxes better. Benn and his drugs is all he has, and Eddy.

You're looking at things from the lions point of view. An old lion is still a lion to a rabbit.

Great stuff by Benn and Hearn. That's how to stay relevant without fighting anyone of note. Looking forward to the big announcement hopefully it's either Canelo or Joshua
