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?

Khan by early KO

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.

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

If Benn beats him, he‘ll belong at that level. He hasn’t shown that yet.
