A lot of hate for Benn on here. Fighting in front of 70k people is something 95% of people on here could never do.
Yes he acts like a turd, but he's got balls and he works hard. Canelo and Fury pissed dirty but they dont get half the stick
The fact that he got to headline in front of 70k off the back of nothing and calling out top fighters which his management have got no interest in fighting is where the hate comes from.
His attitude after the eggs saga was the reason for the stick. If he just took it and went quiet like Canelo and Fury there is a good chance he wouldn’t get half as much stick as he does.
Benn is bang average and has done nothing since the eggs to prove me otherwise. The 2nd Eubank fight the commentary was fawning over him and yet he did virtually nothing. I can’t wait for him to go in with a an elite opponent on a level playing field, there’s levels to this and I honesty think Benn is conference compared to the boys in the premier league

That social media call out stuff is so cringe.
Benn has called out all sorts over the years and fought none of them
Traditionally if Benn calls someone out, he's definitely not facing them.

He’s still not worthy of being anywhere near world level fighters. At domestic level he’s in the mix.
If he stays at 160 does he beat Nathan Heaney ? Yeah probably but he loses the ringwalk again. Denzel ? Not imo no. I haven’t seen much of Liddard but I think he’d give him a good fight.
At 154 I think it’s possible that Ishmail walks right through his feather fisted shots and gets to him. Josh Kelly I’m not so sure if he has the cojones to beat Benn on a big occasion.
At 147 Catterall would pick him apart. Crocker might stop him and Donovan would probably out box him.
I agree. I have been saying for a while, Benn needs to be matched very carefully. Hearn knows it, and so does his father. Connor has a big problem, in my opinion. He is not a middleweight; junior middles would be too much for him, and welterweight could be a bit tight for him. And lets be honest, he's not done anything to proves he belongs in world class company.

Canelo and Fury are good.
And came up the hard way, no mega million stadium fights until they earned it

I don't think many people wouldn't take advantage of their dad's name in a sport as hard as boxing if it meant a shortcut to big money.
It makes me laugh sometimes, people pulling the class card and having a go at guy just cos he grew up with money and jumped the line, in their opinion.
They forget that you don't fill out a stadium unless there are 70,000 gullible fickers buying tickets.
Don't blame Benn for the money he makes, any sane man would do the same, blame the fans who enable it

The grifters and gullible fools are both to blame. One person is selfish enough to lie and exploit idiots for money while others are stupid enough to buy it. It happens in most industries with a different target audience.

I never said he shouldn't take the easy money ,I'm just stating the fact he's had what many would consider a very easy ride to the millions
