Comments Thread For: Regis Prograis says he?s retired for good, rates Conor Benn?s power

[Butt stuff]

I still think Benn only has ok power. Enough to keep a weight drained Eubank cautious, but Prograis is a 140lb guy that fought at 150 against a guy draining down from middleweight in small gloves. I was actually surprised at how much taller Benn was.

Seen Taylor giving Benn **** on twitter. I think that’s a winnable fight for Benn after getting KO’d by Garcia. Taylor is shot but he’s hinting he’d come out of retirement for that.

Regis always came to fight the best that he could, has always been respectful, a student of the sport and became champion. Retiring at the perfect time. Enjoy fam bro

i hope he sticks to the " re-retirement " ...........but i doubt it when the money offers come along, and he still is in fight shape he will come back again one last time.

He retired before he got into the ring last week, that never ends with a win. WBSS was great for a lot of fighters and he helped make that series great. He also was going to walk away due to money issues................ remember that when money and retirement are brought again.

Translation: Prograis was contender level, nothing more. Now he's old and took a fight just to survive. Conor Benn gets destroyed by Garcia.

A lot of the things boxers say about other fighters 'when they retire, at times does seem to be all mumbo jumbo'.

The reason why I say this? Is because boxing is a not a 'data driven sport. The things people say is most of the time, based off subjective views influenced by whatever moment they are experiencing'.

Note: Regis Prograis after surviving 12 rounds vs. Conor Benn 'is not really going to be too harsh on his assessment of Benn's abilities. Because the reality is? Prograis was brought into this fight, to be smashed up by Conor Benn. That was the plan by Zuffa Boxing, and it has appeared to have backfired'.

I have never ever rated Conor Benn's power 'it has been very apparent from the very start of his career, just like Chris Eubank Junior. Neither of them, had the innate power which each of their fathers Chris Eubank Senior and Nigel Benn had as fighters'.

But the difference between Chris Eubank Junior and Conor Benn is ' that Eubank Junior was actually a solid level boxer throughout his career. He did face and beat the best fighters domestically in Great Britain, and at the very least on his own merit? Became a borderline World to high end European level fighter'.

To conclude: Conor Benn has never fought the best fighters domestically in great Britain, and? He has never been involved in a real fight, during his professional career which has not been manufactured so the likely-hood of him wining is increased dramatically'.

Catch weights, rehydration clauses, semi-retired fighters, the list goes on for Conor Benn 'when is somebody going to put him in a real fight'.

I am not saying this to discredit him, because? For his own benefit as fighter 'I think he needs to be involved in real fights, before he challenges World level fighters'.

I don't rate Ryan Garcia as a World level fighter 'but Oscar De La Hoya and Golden Boy Promotions, have put him in real fights win or lose'.

Regis Prograis has been a good fighter throughout his career 'but I don't think he was in the fight vs. Conor Benn to win. He was there to just do business and then bounce etc.
