Hearn & Benn

Benn has just fought a former World champion and will likely fight another in Hooker. Benn said he would fight 3 times this year, if fights a legit top 10 guy I don't see what the issue is.

 

By the way, it is interesting that Florian Marku has just signed a long-term agreement with Boxxer / Sky Sports. Eddie Hearn avoids listening to suggestions for a fight between Conor Benn and Florian Marku.

 

You have this habit of ignoring context when it suits but at the same time would be all over a Fury v Stiverne fight and rightly so.

 

Your beloved Fury and Wilder didn't fight for a world title untill Fury was 27 years old 24 fights in and Wilder 29 years old and 32 fights (both of whom had more amatuer background than Benn).

Why the demand to rush Benn?

 

Because Hearn and Benn keep shouting out about fighting for World Titles. They haven't even fought for The British (nor ever mentioned it). This is what annoys people about these two individuals.

Either poop or get off the pot.

 

You don't seem to realise Florian Marku is absolutely terrible . He went life and death with Rylan Charlton!

 

6 years as a pro, 20 fights yet not even a British Title - some rush

 

And Fury wasn't calling for a world title fight in his fights leading up to title fight?

You can't blame a fighter having confidence in himself. Neither can you blame a promoter for providing hype for his talented young fighter.

 

20 fights in and Benn has already beaten a former WC and its looking likely he will fight another former WC next in Hooker.

Fury didn't beat a former WC untill his 21st fight and Wilder didn't beat a former WC untill his 29th fight.

 

I'm not going to comment on whether Florian Marku is good or bad, but if Matchroom had signed him, then several would have asked for a fight between Conor Benn and Florian Marku. Eddie Hearn is avoiding that now.

 

At this rate of progress, Benn will be calling out Bernard Hopkins a few days before he reaches 60

 

Algieri still comes in at very good shape and had only lost to Khan, Pac and Spence. Overall I don't think is any doubt Algieri was improvment over Benns previous opponents. As would Hooker be over Algieri.
