Does Benn smash Kahn???
Does Benn smash Kahn???
I used to like Kahn but he got carried away with his ego and now a think Benn embarrasses him and he knows it. What do you guys think the outcome would be?

Re: Does Benn smash Kahn???
It’s intriguing to see Conor Benn desperately chasing a “business” fight against a semi-retired inactive 34½ year old has-been.
Amir Khan has been campaigning at 147lbs for eight years and he has never won a world title at that weight.
The veteran from Bolton has only managed to defeat three journeymen within the last six years. And none of them were legitimate 147lb-ers.
No disrespect to Samuel Vargas, but he’s suffered four losses and a draw within the last 3½ years. He’s clearly no world-beater!
So there’s really no point in hailing Conor Benn as being the “next big thing” at welterweight, when he clearly hasn’t achieved a damn thing… yet!
Benn is currently competing against guys that have failed to win more than 30% of their bouts. And consistently facing that sort of opposition isn’t good enough.
The only justification for there to be a fight between Khan and Benn, is a PR stunt (to pass the proverbial torch on the British domestic scene), because otherwise it’s meaningless from both a sporting and also a commercial perspective.
In terms of the question posed by this thread?
I don’t really care whether Conor Benn either could or couldn’t “smash Khan” to pieces, because it’s irrelevant, since Amir is only a has-been.

Kahn will not want any of this.
Re: Does Benn smash Kahn???
Khan wont take the fight ,because he knows he gets battered .
But as the previous poster said its probably irrelevant as khan is washed up anyway .

Bookies have Benn a 3/1 on favourite
Re: Does Benn smash Kahn???
If Benn beats him, he‘ll belong at that level. He hasn’t shown that yet.
