      Benn went to war with a shot fighter. No legs, no power, no chin, blown up, at home. I'm not sure what Benn will do with this. Who can he beat in his age group? Rolly, Ryan, Haney? I don't see it. Worse at 154.

          I can't imagine Benn v Boots, oh the humanity, or Benn v Fundora. He's going to need an Iron dome. I am not convinced and this didn't help.

            if conor wants the belt he will have to squeeze further down, i think ryan will then beat him at 147 in a close enough fight

              Utterly disgraceful to get paid $15m for that level, when great fighters of the past never got paid that much.

              Now they're throwing ridiculous amounts at fighters that are way below the level of great, no offence to Conor. He just isn't that, although I'll give him credit for his heart.

                  He does not fight for belts. He wont dare - also now that he is property of TKO belts dont count unless its Zuffa / Ring. So expect him to duck the best

                    There are no top level fighters at 147, 154 or 160 that this stiff will beat. Devin will befuddle him, Ryan will take his head off, Fundora would butcher him, Boots would knock him into orbit and Vergil would break him in half. He's simply not a very skilled fighter. He seems to have a sturdy chin, though.
