    Lol, posted at 5:33 AM, I assume still drunk from a night out drinking. There's only one brilliant boxer named Benn and his first name is Nigel.

    I would go look at who got the belts at WW and JMW and then revisit that position.

    Barrios is getting the WBC I think, maybe the odds aren't as bad for Conor as we think :lol:

    I actually thought about that. I legitimately think Barrios beats Benn :confused:

    Barrios really isn't all that bad. He only showed he was outta his element vs. Keith, and Keith even old and playing the obo is still a handful.

    Wouldn't say brilliant. But I do think Benn is better than what most people on forum say. I think he'll be one of the players in this post Crawford 147 era alongside Ennis, Stanionis, R Garcia, Donovan.

    Jesus. Is the welter division that bad? Garcia, Benn and Donovan???

    What about Brian Norman? He put a clinic on Santillan last time out.

    I wouldn't say he's brilliant.

    But he is Eggsellent.

    Sorry couldn't resist.

    Without PEDs you think his punches could crack an egg

    I just hope we actually see Benn tested, rather than him putting largely irrelevant domestic dust ups against people like Eubank Jnr ahead of facing genuine quality opposition that will earn him respect from the boxing fraternity.

    By all means, make a few quid - but don't let that define your career.

    I really would be interested to see how he'd fare against some of the bigger names at 147.

    How, do we think he'd do against Thurman, as an example?

    It’s a strange one because even though Benn should not be fighting when he is pregnant and in that condition,he is certainly stronger and has a lot more power than when he is not pregnant.

    I've not seen Norman. And 147 is a changing division right now. Donovan is a quality fighter, as is Garcia, and Benn is underrated.
