Hearn: Can You Imagine What Benn Would Do To Khan? It'd Be Over in Two Rounds!

"Some days are tough..."

 

Mate it's not been the best of starts for you on here, you're clutching at straws when you're thumbing in a clip of Khan against a prime Maidana in a brilliant fight in which he won. Khan was younger than Conor Benn is now so if you are comparing the two, and of course you are, has Benn been in fights with anyone as good as those that have beaten Khan? I don't want to come across like I'm knocking Benn but I'm just talking facts and asking questions, Khan had the balls to go up in weight and agree to all kinds of clauses to fight a clearly drug cheating and way over a stone heavier on the night Saul Alvarez and up until the knockout he was boxing beautifully, really giving it a go. So far Benn has avoided anyone that hits, Ava has been touted for god knows how long and he's going nowhere near that fight although he was happy to have a dig at Kelly when he lost to him, he was straight in there. These aren't opinions, these are facts. Khan was actively seeking the biggest fights and the toughest fights he could get, he was game for Mayweather and when a poll voted for Khan as Mayweather's next opponent he was all over that, Mayweather not so much. People laugh but there's something in that, Mayweather's power was diminishing and he hadn't stopped anyone in years, as far as he was concerned Khan was a potentially very tricky fight and an opponent that he could genuinely look bad against. So while a young and prime Khan has a history of doing that Benn is still lining up and almost trying to build a list to keep him going for the time being of yesterday's names.

I'm not the biggest Khan fan, not by a long way, but I will always step in wherever to set rubbish right and way too many people talk absolute nonsense about Amir Khan, they skim over his whole career as if he didn't do anything and is out cold the second a punch lands on his chin but he's only been out cold once in his career and that was against a guy who was cheating beyond belief, using every single legal advantage he could get whilst using incredibly dangerous illegal advantages, way over a stone heavier on the night, basically going in against a Welter who could make 140 if he wanted weighing like a Light Heavy. Boxers get knocked out, they get stopped, it happens, especially when they take risks, especially when they're sometimes too brave, shall we start having a pop at Gatti while we're here, did he have a glass chin?

 

I get what your saying regarding Eddie's bollocks but surely with your boxing knowledge you can see Benn is still early in his career?
He's working hard and could be an exciting boxer in the near future but he's still learning..
Nearly every boxer sits there after a win saying they want to fight so and so next and claiming to be contenders.
Eddie talks bollocks and brags up his fighters but it's a money game and boxers with him will play along because they want the big bucks.
I think Benn will give us and the sport some entertaining fights and i for one want him to succeed.

 

I thought Khan was a very good boxer just a shame he liked a tear up but didn't have the chin to match.
He fought some good fighters and compared to Benn at the same age he was way ahead in fights and experience?.

 

Khan fans always overrate him.. says the conor benn fan. I don’t rate Khan THAT highly but for a boxer with a completely glass chin his achievements are pretty solid and he’s never been scared to go in with proper punchers the way benn is. Let’s see if Benn will ever fight someone and beat someone like Maidana, he might do but probably won’t

 

Some guys in here have got matchroom blinkers on. Benn probably beats the current semi-retired khandashian verson of Amir, but prime Khan from the Maidana fight knocks the kid out.

Eddie talks a lot of ****, even for a promoter. He needs a reality pill to show he's not a hardman. Like how fwank got shot and him and don king got flatlined by iron mike.

 

Really outstanding post EC. A bit of respect please.

 

Fast Eddie is selling both Fighters and their next fights. By bringing Amir in, he's reminding potential punters of the fight with Brook. Basic technique. Called upselling.
To be fair to him, if one of my sons was turning Pro, I would want them looked after by the Hearns.

 

I see this clown is back under yet another guise. I wonder how many times he's been banned and then resurrected now. Utterly boring.

 

It'll probably be AJ that turns on him.

 

I don't understand people like this? How sad and pathetic must their lives be that this is what they do for fun!
