If Haney fought Kambosos....

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

I follow it fairly closely, haven’t seen loads of Essuman but quite a bit of clay and Kongo. Domestically for me I think McKinson could be the next big thing, he hasn’t beaten an names but beaten quite a few other unbeaten up and comers.

I don’t disagree with a lot of what you say, has Benn proven himself over the names we have mentioned? Maybe not?

Where we differ is you are saying he is ‘terrible’. If we speak about the names above a good fighters, prospects, potential then you have to include Benn in that bracket.

You might think he is over hyped but he’s far from a ‘terrible’ fighter. It’s a matter of opinion at the end of the day until the fights happen and it’s proven

McKinson is a good technician but his lack of power could hold him back at the higher levels.

Kongo has the highest ceiling IMO.

Terrible might be harsh but I just don’t rate him in terms of technique and attributes. Personally I believe his potential is below average, I’ll give him full credit if he proves me wrong though.

I think that’s because technically he isn’t the best as he is so inexperienced. He’s basically learning on the job.

Proven himself as a fighter, but will he develop into a boxer

Personally that’s why I think he might do well because he hasn’t got the amateur pedigree like the others we have mentioned and look where he’s at in his career

With a few more years training under his belt who knows?

But there’s a good crop of young fighters we have mentioned there

Benn is calling for PBK Josh Kelly, what are your thoughts on that?

I’d pick Kelly to beat him pretty comfortably but I love the fact that Benn wants to fight him.

I liked what Benn said post fight, he’s clearly sick of fighting these European stiffs and wants to test himself domestically. I’m all for that.

Just think Kelly will have too much for him in terms of ring IQ.

I’d love to see Benn vs Clay, I think that’d be a great fight stylistically.

Agree but he doesn’t seem to be calling these guys out, Clay etc.

I rate Kelly, but I’m biased as he lives up the road and my sister used to teach him, run past his family home most days.

He has all the tools and ability but a few doubts about if he can put it all together, shame the Avenysian fight is pushed back again, will tell us a lot

The bar is always higher for the more proven & accomplished cats.

And that's as it should be. A prospect shouldn't be graded the same way as a contender. A contender shouldn't be graded the same way as a title holder. A title holder shouldn't be graded the same way as a #1 guy.

Yup. Once you hit a certain level expectations should be higher.

That Avanesyan fight is never happening is it...

Think that’s the 4th time it been cancelled.
