Eddie makes a fair point over Conor Benn's first few fights though. I remember that

Fair play to the Spaniard, you can't be too harsh with Hatton, limited amateur career, hell of a lot of pressure being in such a spotlight on his debut.
Eddie will look after him and give him the chance to move forward.

TBF McKinson is the awkwardest customer I've seen since..? As long as he learns and improves Kongo still got a Euro title in him.

Conor Benn may turn out to be an excellent fighter. I quite like him and he's an enjoyable watch.

But prior to his last fight, he was totally protected. Nothing meaningful and not even confirmed British or European level. And this continues with the smoke and mirrors of his next fight.

This is 5 years on from his debut.

Eubank in fairness fought Saunders and took him close within 3 years, won the British from a good champion and took much higher level fights after. He has been mismanaged and mismatched and nowhere near active enough, but totally different levels. So far.

This is a big step up for JJ, but most of us think he'll end up better than Cheeseman.
Let's see :box:

Very very harsh. Did u see ricky hattons first fight?
I did. Ricky was leagues above due to an extensive amateur career in the juniors.
He won the senior ABAS at 17! He was world class.

tbf to hatton, chris jr and conny benn looked pretty mediocre when they debuted and have improved big time, let's see what he can do over the next few years before calling him a fraud etc, he will get all the perks when it comes to training and match making etc
