Comments Thread For: Eddie Hearn: Devin Haney Can Come And Fight Conor Benn in London at 147

The problem with Benn is he can't box. He's also slow. He was strong, but that's over with, because he can't juice anymore. The difference in his power pre- and post clomifene, was quite obvious in his last fight. Without the juice, he wasn't even half as strong. So he won't even have the power advantage over Devin anymore. Not that it would have mattered. Devin showed that power alone isn't enough to bother him, when he fought Prograis. He might even stop Benn, because he's going to eat a lot of clean punches from Devin, and Devin is finally getting a little bit of man strength now. Benn is tailor made for Devin

The problem with Benn is he cheated. He got caught twice. I've known guys who were dangerous because they didn't know they couldn't box. Prince Hamed was one.

Benn is getting too much interest. I'd like to see him continue with mediocrity like fighting Broner or something.

Hamed was a crazy good athlete and probably one of the hardest punching featherweights ever. Was herky jerky and not the most technical of fighters but when he hit guys clean they knew they'd been hit and he left a few guys and quality fighters at that time being sc****d of the canvas.

Hearn is trying to set Haney up. Why the fook would an established champion like Haney go to London to fight a 0 time champ whose a drug cheat living off of his fathers last name? Gtfoh Haney already paid his dues by having to whoop kambosos twice in Australia. No need to travel to the land of minor league boxing.

Couldn’t agree more and I’m British and out the game now as it’s become very very embarrassing and the big promoters know it which is why they suck up to “his excellency “ for a bone .. FACT

[Nightfall]

Benn isn't licensed to fight there is he?

I think this is the fight they should make. Both will sell I don't think there's any question about that. Neither are particularly ferocious (at least not since a certain scandal) and neither will want to lose. I reckon it would be a decent 12 round watch with plenty of needle come fight night.

Whoa...Prince Hamed was a genius. I saw him in his prime when he boxed Kevin Kelly at the garden. I sat close enough to see his brilliance, and I'll never forget it. He committed so much to his punches that he would get tagged, but in his awkwardness, he knew what he was doing. He wasn't textbook, he had cat like agility and reflexes and punched from impossible angles with leverage. And he could flatten you with one punch with either hand. The power came from his legs, which were huge for a featherweight. Benn is just a slow brawler. His gas tank is ok, but without drugs, his power isn't anything crazy. With clomifene, he was looking like Frankenstein though
