Comments Thread For: Shakur Stevenson calls for Conor Benn fight ? with rehydration clause

[real raw]

How is this fight even being considered when they are in different weight classes and Benn doesn't even hold a title in any division whatsoever???

benn is a big draw by being an interesting character, much like rolly, instant box office draw. Add the intrigue of Stevenson immiediately jumping a division, or two, only heightens interest in the fight. No title needed, there's money to be made!

Benn on fighting Haney, "he's too boring."

Benn on fighting Shakur, "he's too small."

I think he wants to talk himself into a title shot without earning it, at the same time he wants a big payday and I doubt either guy will provide the payday that will make a loss worthwhile for him (I guess Turki could make it happen).

Just Make Haney vs Shakur, it will be like Hagler vs Hears.

It’s pretty telling that he’s doing this, Shakur Stevenson has no draw as a fighter, people don’t watch him for exciting fights.

I'd prefer Haney v Shakur to Benn getting beat in a one-sided fight.

Don't worry though, that hypocrite has already said he won't fight for an IBF title because of their rehydration clause so he definitely won't take up Shakur's offer (which includes a rehydration clause).

Well then take Haney, why Shakur going for the less skilled in the Division. He Benn just fought at 160.

He should (and has also called Haney out) but calling Benn out highlighted his hyporcrisy and if Shakur gets the fight it's an easy payday.
