Comments Thread For: Hearn: Tank vs. Benn Not Really a Fight That I Anticipated - But I Think It's a Fight That Can Happen

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

It usually takes an eye-catching breakout performance or a spectacular knockout to catapult an unproven fighter into contention for a fight with one of the sport's biggest names. As we are constantly reminded however, boxing is a business and money can always create exceptions to the rule.

Why?...

Yes, get fight made .Tank wants the Benn name on resume in 100 years time when tanks resume has a win over Benn....it could be Nigel Benn as far as anyone is concerned

Correct me if I am wrong, but Dobson and Orozco are 154s with over 50 fights between them. So Been can compete with the middle-of-the-road 154s coming off the bench. Do you think Cabbage Patch is going to fight him in a straight-147 fight? He ain't stopping Benn, and I've got money that a fully hydrated Benn has more pop than him at 147. Why would I want to see a prime Benn coming to the ring sick so they can build this clown's profile?

Is this parody?

Davis is a natural 135lbs fighter and Benn actually fought Dobson at a weight of 170lbs ! 35lbs at this weight is dangerous and ****** but that's what Hearn is . I wouldn't imagine Davis would weigh much more than 140lbs to be effective. Hearn is making this sport even more dangerous and given that Benn is currently suspended in his own country for two failed performance enhancing drugs tests , this becomes very concerning .BBBofC should take a real look at what Hearn is doing !

Couldn’t agree more with this assessment

Edward of Hearn has already killed the fight by saying it has to be at 147.
Tank is the A-side B & C in a fight like this & the maximum it will be at is 140-143 catch weight with a rehydration clause. Benn & Edward are such entitled to pwincesses they will never go for it which is why Eddie has killed it before it began.

I couldn't agree more,
Hearn if a non poproom fighter fails a test... Ban them for life!
Hearn if a poproom fighter fails a test.... Forces the fight to still go on (Whyte) or Benn "let's make a fight", it's rediculous & he should also be banned to set a president.
