    What a plonker Benn is.

    He has to be the most unlikeable fighter in modern times. As thick as two planks and entitled to boot.

    Eubank, for all his nonsense, is a very likeable chap.

    It remains a mystery to me how anyone could find Eubank likeable.

    But then I remind myself that criminals, dole dossers, chavs, drug users and all of the scum of society have friends…

    People like their own kind.

    He Carries himself with class, doesn't curse, doesn't make accusations about donating purses to charity but not doing so, takes on the best, usually tries to kill his opponent, and is as tough as old boots.

    Carries himself with class? Maybe for Brixton!

    Takes on the best? I’m thinking he’s been in two decent fights and lost both.

    Usually tries to kill his opponent? Gotta laugh, bud. Based on what?

    He didn’t look that tough against George Groves!

    He most certainly is not, but Benn's even worse.

    Conor Benn is a very compact short bloke with a decent engine, decent pop for his weight and decent speed.
    He is a very good welterweight but realistically is more a puncher than a boxer.

    Jr would have every advantage in engine, pop and speed. Unless he can't make the weight healthy lol.
    Actually even unhealthy i think he would still be way too much for Conor.

    I think the hooks and uppercuts would be just too easy to land against a guy his size with a face first style.

    I do think Conor probably beats Ava, in a war. A very close fight that he has to show a bit of some fortitude.
    Against Vergil Ortiz and Boots Ennis he gets a beating, against the elite he gets embarrased.

    He probably meant Eubank Sr. He can make a real statement by being the only man other than cruiserweight Carl Thompson to stop the former two weight World Champion.

    Chris Van Heerdan who has fought for over 14 months.

    Has 12 KOs from 28 fights.

    Hasn't stopped anyone since 2015

    Spence knocked him out 7 years ago.

    Ticks all the boxes.

    Dam, I wanted Benn vs Hooker.

    I would love to see Benn batter Broner.

    Let's be honest, van Heerden has't really fought in 2 and a half years, this is ridiculous
