Not that am putting him down or anything, but his opponent doe. Like a lot of people pointed out Benn needs a lot of fights before he can even go Euro level. He can go the Wilder route.. 35 odd fights because he fights someone with a pulse.
Benn's left hook to the liver last night

I wouldnt even be thinking about his potential at Euro level yet tbhComment

Josh Taylor territory. Benns unlucky, right smack **** in the middle of the best UK prospects divisions. Really I should reserve judgment, as people have said, hardly any amatuer experience. Long way to go.Comment

Honestly, Benn looks too fragile, too slow and doesnt hit hard enough...a problem when he is trying to emulate his father's style.Comment

I just mean Euro level is way too far away. Southern Area title would be a big step up. No guarantee he gets through domestic sceneComment

He's got Eddie looking after him, he will be fine. Look at how many world title shots Paul Smith got, Eddie will weasel him a route to easy belts. By the time Benn's looking at world titles Taylor will have moved to 147. He's a huge 140 so he won't be hanging around long after he wins a title at 140.Comment

Not sold on him, his competition level is very poor
He also seems very raw, defensive skills look piss poor, wonder what will happen when he faces someone that can fight and crackComment

JT is a former Olympian and top level amateur, plus he is like 26. Just a whole different career path. Benn is a toddler in age and has barely come out the womb in boxing terms.
Hearn needs to be careful how much he promotes ths guy imo. All well and good playing of his dads name, but eventually people are gunna start asking for tests that he isnt ready for. Would be a shame if they rushed him as he does look talented. He has 5 years before he is Taylors age. Plenty of time to learn his craft.
I dont see the point in taking him to Hearns first American card and getting him more exposure when he isnt anywhere near ready. Should have taken one of his Olympians. The yanks would have loved Josh Kelly's style. Or Buatsi.Comment
