I understand that if this fight had any chance of happening it would be a cash out for Conor, or at least it would reiterate the fact that he is NOT world level and should stay in his lane.
How realistic is this matchup? For one, I don't think there's really any demand whatsoever for Benn to fight Tank. Nobody thinks he would stand a chance in that fight and they're more than one weight class away. Hell, Tank won't even fight the top dogs in his weight class. Why would he move up one to two weight classes to fight a guy who has no chance? It just doesn't make any sense.
There's nothing wrong with having confidence, it's a necessity in all pro sports, especially a dangerous game like boxing but Benn is overconfident to the point where he's delusional if he thinks he stands a chance against any of the top dogs at 140-147. He would be decimated without the juice.
It's no coincidence that Benn KO'd the usually durable Algieri and Van Heerden, popped dirty and then couldn't even knock down his last two lower level opponents.
