    Harrison had much more natural talent than Benn

    He just was petrified of getting hit

    Jake Paul.

    Gerry Cooney had about the same level of resume.

    Conor Benn makes Garrett Bischoff look like Kurt Angle.

    Benn is not world level. Let's not forget Ryan got tooled by Rolly who is BARELY world level.

    Ryan has good attributes. But looks like he never addressed the issue he has with defense. He turns his torso around bracing for impact. It's such a bad habit. Almost no trained fighter does that.

    I don't consider Jake Paul in that bracket
    If he ever challenges for a world title I'd revisit that

    Cooney surely never earnt what Benn will?

    Garcia is very good but the reality is, Benn would genuinely struggle to win a British title without a decent cherry pick

    He earned more in his fights if you adjust for inflation. He also had enough hype to have lots of people thinking he’d beat Holmes, even though he hadn’t beaten a top ten contender that I’m aware of.

    Makes sense but Benn has made well over 30 mill

    The hype for him (Cooney) was more desperation imo due to the whole race thing

    Adjusting for inflation, Cooney's purse for Holmes would be 34.6 million.

    I guess at least Cooney was a draw in some sense

    Crazy when you think about it like that

    rolly was just backing up winging a bad wide slow left hook and it was landing and rocking teofimo, ryan would spam the same punch and also land it
