Re: Conor Benn - what’s next?
He’s already said he’s skipping 154..
So will be campaigning at 160 pounds
Maybe even 168.
Does he win a belt there?
160 weak but they’re still probably levels above Benn.

Eubank 3, kell brook or BJS.

Re: Conor Benn - what’s next?
Benn will get plenty of chances. 154 is full of killers, so 160 seems good.
Few easy Kos then …
Zeraffa, Nikita or tim tszyu, Eubank, Shane Mosley jr lara, Josh Kelly, Keith Thurman, Bentley, McKean, kell brooks, Kahn? Liam smith? pac?
Any of them really, who would say no to that.

I think benn somewhere between area and british level. Think its just event fights for himRuthless-RKO wrote: ↑Yesterday, 00:03You think he’s gonna go for cash outs?
Career finished?
He already make his £16 million against Eubank
I thought he’d take his career a little more serious.
But after today..
He already knew what level he was at haha

Re: Conor Benn - what’s next?
If he goes to 160 the killers at 154 might not be far behind. I'd advise a durable warmup for Josh Kelly, then see how the land lies.
Re: Conor Benn - what’s next?
He has to fight shot names to both win & earn enough money for Zuffa.
Eubank 3, Brook, Liam Smith etc.
It would be too embarrassing for him & Zuffa for him to try & win a British title at say 154 or 160 & get stopped.

He’ll be tiny if he goes up to 168 his frame isn’t large.

Re: Conor Benn - what’s next?
I think he's probably done, he's played the weight game for paydays and was never all that in the first place, especially off the egg diet.
I can't see Zuffa bank rolling him at british level or allowing a rebuild. Eubank 3 looks likely

Re: Conor Benn - what’s next?
He’s played the name game not the weight game. He has got where he has by his name alone. Benn is average at best, I honestly think he wouldn’t be guaranteed to win the southern area belt.
This sausage will go back to fighting the same opponents he did before trying to con the same people who thought he had a chance against Garcia to think he’s legit at a higher weight. The man is a pudendum

Re: Conor Benn - what’s next?
Zuffa will likely be able to use him for one last money fight at 160. Using the weight loss excuse - but unless Benn is tied in, he may decide he has made enough money and protecting his reputation for future ventures is more beneficial.Glass Joe wrote: ↑Yesterday, 00:08I think benn somewhere between area and british level.

Benn has the weight loss excuse, and as Naz and Fury die hard fans show us .. hype can convince the simple minded their eyes are lying
Re: Conor Benn - what’s next?
Eubank 3, Tim Tszyu, Domestic level British title.
That's it

It actually had genuine boxing people thinking he was going to win.

Yes I watched the Propa boxing fight rundown last week where he fancied Benn.smiling assassin wrote: ↑Yesterday, 03:18It actually had genuine boxing people thinking he was going to win.

Re: Conor Benn - what’s next?
Seems like he’d have options at 160. All of Lara’s middleweight fights have been softy soft, and damaged goods with a big name is perfect for him. Bentley and McKenna beat unknowns to win their alphabet belts and would probably like to add a name to their record as well. Beat up a club fighter with a decent record at 160 and Benn would likely be ranked since the division is so thin. That is if he really wants to continue fighting

Re: Conor Benn - what’s next?
I'm sure Benn knew he had little chance against Garcia. Just playing a role for the cash. Maximising the leverage of his name
