    Give Benn what he’s mouthing off for,the Stevenson fight ! When both fighters are from opposite ends of the spectrum to each other sometimes it makes a good fight .

    I guess the likes of Canelo, Holyfield, Roy Jones, James Toney, Fernando Vargas and Shane Mosely have no heart as well?

    Every time Benn opens his mouth it is pure cringe. Tries way too hard to be someone he isn't and never will be.

    Thinking Benn has much of a chance is an insult to Stevenson, realistically.

    Feel free to dislike Stevenson, but he's damn good. World class. P4P, all that. Benn isn't on his level.

    It's appalling to hear such constant trash talking crap from Brit boxers. Benn, Eubanks, both Josh and Katie Taylor never STFU and rarely make good on their drivel.
    Katie gets the judges attention though. Chisora has a big mouth and SPIT on Wlad.

    Hell even Froch, a guy I like, mouths off a lot but he did put his money where his mouth is.

    To compare Conor Nigel Benn with such luminaries says a lot about you.These guys have all achieved a lot which Conor has not but the fact you think he is a real G tells us a lot about you. If you don’t understand the relative standing of these guys compared to Benn then I am sorry I cannot help you. To the extent any of them took PED’s then it’s a blight on their legacies. Conor has no legacy. You are a very sad man. Because of my magnanimity I sometimes want to forgive you and like you but your rank hypocrisy and stupidness comes on display and I cannot like you.

    Zepeda is just a high volume guy who overwhelms you by throwing nonstop. He doesn't have high ring IQ, isn't fast or athletic, and despite his high KO% isn't a big puncher. If Zepeda was actually a big puncher and was fast Shakur would not have stood in front of him or willingly allowed him to back him up against the ropes

    Benn isn't that good but he is fast, athletic and powerful and his punches are coming in with speed, power and accuracy and when he let's the combos fly they're also coming in with speed, accuracy, power and variety.

    It's a lot easier to see the shots of Zepeda coming and they're not that hard. Shakur was willing to stand in front of him for this reason but vs the big punching, pretty fast and athletic De Los Santos he was very wary of doing so and he stunk the joint out in what was a terrible fight.

    Shakur would likely do the same against Benn who might not be that good but is certainly much more dangerous than Zepeda

    I am certain Shakur would tax Benn’s ass especially if Benn is egg free.

    No doubt. The difference between them is like night and day.

    Better fights for both men to take than this one.
