Conor Benn fought a shot to pieces 140 lber who hasn't beaten a ranked fighter in years and looked terrible.

He's no shot vs anyone even close to elite.

He is a clown, but he has a shot, he isn't as bad as some make out. Boxing fans have short memories. Rolly was trash apparently, then he beats Garcia and is hyped for some big fights. Garcia was s***** on after the Rolly loss, and it killed the Haney rematch hype and people said he was trash, now after his last performance and world title people rate him again and now Haney rematch is suddenly a big fight again. People s**** on Haney after the Garcia loss that got overturned, won world title since and rated highly again. Is Benn elite, no. Are Garcia, Rolly, Crocker far better, no.

That's true, the 147 is very weak.

Think Benn has a chance vs Crocker for the IBF? I don't rate Crocker much.

100% true. He fought through two cuts and focused more on boxing than mauling which I thought was pretty decent. I'm interested to see how he fares against the rest of the 147 division if he goes that route.

I thought Benn was going to back up Regis and take him out. Instead he did the worst thing he could do to a shot fighter. He gave Regis too much respect. Benn had it all his way on paper, bigger, stronger, in his prime, hometown, on and on. Too much edge for a real destroyer.
