    Who the hell has Benn fought at that level? Bud would toy with Benn, Conor has never beaten a top ten contender.

    Most likely. But Bud struggled with Mean Machine and struggled with Jose Benavidez. Yes, Bud is a phenomenal fighter - a bonafide ATG. But he's human. He struggled in fights he shouldve dismantled opponents. Perhaps Benn would fill that role as well.

    And, to be honest, I dont know who won between Crawford and Madrimov. Every time I rewatch it the outcome looks mistaken.

    He has always excelled at that aspect of promotion
    Look at how he made Dillian Whyre a PPV fighter because he punched AJ once

    Ah yes,
    He got ppl believing he was the boogey man of the division when he was literally a basic slugger who had the footwork of an ice skater.

    Basic sluggers like yourself need to be a more careful of thin ice.

    Eddie Hearn claims he lent Conor Benn £550k.

    Benn claims Hearn didn't lend him any money.

    One of them should have a nose the size of Pinocchio over the size of the lie they are telling.
