    To be fair he hasn’t even won the European Title, so he’s hardly ready for a world title.

    He is looking for someone to allow him to cross in to PPV and Khan or Brook is probably ideal. Brook will probably say he could make light welter for a mil

    Agree. What happened to the traditional route? Jenkins is the British and Ava is the European and they’d be 2 perfect fights for his development but they won’t happen as they’re too busy calling out inactive has beens.

    Broner would do enough against Benn

    Jenkins the ant allowed to fight him. He’s agreed to fight him twice and begged Frank to let him fight him but Warren refused.

    being honest on the Ava fight would you prefer to get a million to fight Khan in a winnable fight or £150k to fight Ava in a 50/50. Just putting it out there

    The Conor Benn "fight "was a sham.

    Benn-Vargas was an obvious fix.

    So after 18 fights Connor Benn holds the Continental Tyres Belt and calling out shot to pieces fighters on PPV.

    No mention of any World Champions or even European aspirations and Eh Day Hearn has declared him a PPV Star going forward now.

    While the mob of PPV Mugths are around, Eh day will simply rinse and repeat every few years.

    Why the hell would Shields be able to knock out Savannah but not the other 9 lesser fighters, that doesn`t make any sense.

    no way, Ortiz is levels above Benn, I want to see Bud v Ortiz next, Benn can fight the loser of that one.

    This is Matchroom's policy. Fighters who have a profile and look good get fast-tracked to the pay-off; others fight their way up the old school way and sell their own tickets on the undercard.

    For once you'd have to praise Joshua because it seems he didn't fancy doing it that way until Charles Martin came along.

    Gather round boys,
    There's much work to do,
    We need a new boxer,
    For our next Pay per view,

    Let's start with a name,
    Famous way back when,
    We did it with Eubank,
    Now let's try with Benn,

    Don't worry 'bout resume,
    Or his fight record stats,
    Just give him beard implants,
    And plenty of Tats,

    And feed him some lines,
    To reel off to the mic,
    Bout a kid in the 'hood,
    That's the bollocks they like,

    Then we'll feed him some pudding,
    Whilst we hype him to ****
    And we'll all make a million,
    Or two with good luck,
