Do some fans think Yarde is the new Nigel Benn?

    I wasn`t impressed with Yarde on youtube watching him fight and I wondered what all the fuss was about, he seemed like Joyce and Dubious in their respective weight class, just looking to exploit inferior opponents that have weak chins. Is Yarde really as destructive as Benn was in his early career at middleweight?

    I hope not, Benn is my favourite fighter of all time. Yarde reminds me of Eubank Jr with more power, flashy look about him when hes out of range but when in range the flashiness goes and its decent but basic work. Good job hes got some power. He also reminds me a bit of Wilder in that he has done alot of talking but its guna be 40 fights before he actually tries to match his mouth.

    Benn would destroy the bum, even being a weight division lower.
