No idea why it didn’t happen but I’m glad it didn’t. Benn still seems to be an absolute competitive animal and I’m enjoying the various videos you can find on YouTube of him working the pads with current boxers...
Benns reflexes and balance are shot to bits, he looked gone in his last bout. Hitting a static pad doesnt mean shit. Ali was able to shadowbox when he had parkinsons disnt mean he could fight.

That's right,the videos i've seen of him on the pads he look slow and old,which is exactly what he is.

I’m not implying he could or should fight again, I really only commented that he’s in decent shape for 50-whatever he is...

Call me crazy but I give Eubank Jnr A shot against Smith. He won’t have to go looking for Smith: that’s what he struggles with most.
He’s much better when fighters come to him. I mean he demolished Yildirim who went on to run Dirrell very close. Eubank Jr is no great but he’s not as bad as he would sometimes lead you believe by his poor front foot game.
Groves still wore him down with size - Smiths even bigger again.
I still think he’d be better at Middleweight - he’s not big enough for SMW.
