Harley Benn just went 2-0 is planning to drop two weights and fight at welterweight Conor Benn is 6-0 and is currently fighting welterweight there is a bit of needle between them and they have been brought up separate. Could we ever see a battle of the Benn brothers further down the line ?
Depends on how well they progress they're both still on single figures. Even if they both turned out to be superstars down the line you'd still have to deal with all the chaos that comes with Hearn working with Warren
Good point about the promoters , I think they will both make it at least to domestic title level , I actually think Harley Benn will go further , he just has that crazed look about him that his old man did, I think he will be the guy that's less likely to quit when it comes down to a dogfight. But he has to get down to Welterweight to make an impact, at 20 they both have plenty of time.
Interesting at 20 I think Conor has a huge edge in boxing development/ability. I actually think Conor will become a world champion, I am one of the few who rate the kid. Harley is much greener it appears but that doesn't mean he can't go just as far but he needs to take it slow and find a strength and conditioning coach too. Harley looks pretty poor at the moment IMO but if he has a bit of his old mans drive/killer instinct he can get there some day.
Not trying to pick holes in what you're saying mate, just genuinely interested...what do you see in Conor Benn? He's still very inexperienced but I don't the potential for him to be a world champion in the future (yet) personally.
The kid looks gifted to me, nice combination's and moves well in the ring. I think he is getting better every time I see him fight and @ 20 he has a lot of room for improvement. Given his father's name he already has advantages others might not get. He is already a ppv undercard fighter so I think Hearn will give him the opportunities he needs. With talent and a good team around him why can't he be a world champion?
Definitely tons of improvement needed. He looks so raw and wild at the minute. Doesn't pace himself, goes hell for leather letting his hands go and takes far too many shots. It'll be interesting seeing how he goes on, he needs to show loads more self discipline and maturity.
Conor seems a bit feather fisted maybe once he feels into his man body he 'll get some power He's definitely athletic though so has some potential
you've seen nothing so far that makes u think hes world champ in the making, it just isn't there yet, if ever !
No doubt the kid has a long, long way to go, but he's still in nappies in terms of experience. He's obviously a hard worker though, he even looks physically 10x the athlete he was since his pro debut. Conor is going to shock a lot of people in 3-4 years, he's got a bit of dog in him like his old man. He just needs to train the house down and get a dietitian. @ 140 he has size, strength and decent pop, he needs to get down there and stay there and getting a strap won't be a problem. TBH I could say all those things about Josh Kelly and many think he's the next big thing and Conor is a fair bit younger and much less experienced than him!!!!
They'd be better keeping Harley Benn behind closed doors for a year and taking him around all the gyms sparring. He's learning on the job and given his second name, it's going to be tough. He has a hell of a lot to learn, but to give credit to the lad, he seems like he wants to knuckle down in the sport and learn/improve.
Harley Benn never had an amateur career, he is basically learning as he goes, I think he will do alright once he gets a bit more experience.
