    Early to say, plus he’s in a very tough division

    He’s still young though, so maybe In 4 years time, the division could be weaker than now. So it depends on the landscape.

    If he keeps improving, It’s not far fetched to think he could pick up some vacant title with a right opponent or get matched against a weak belt holder at some point.

    Let’s get real, with so many belts around, you don’t need to be elite to be a world champ.

There are those who want to hate on him, or would see him thrown into a tough fight before he is ready. Personally, I like to see exciting fights, so I am enjoying the ride. Samuel Vargas is little more than an old gatekeeper, he got ruined by Virgil Ortiz Jr. Look at what David Avenasyen did to Josh Kelly. Why not Conor Benn vs. Avenasyen next? I am not ready to call Conor a world-beater just yet. His style is one which will be nullified by somebody who can take his power, or who can smother his work, or otherwise nullify his offence. Think Shawn Porter. Conor looks massively improved in a very short time, but there are still way more questions than answers when it comes to this kid. He looks great against the right opponent, and I think Eddie Hearn knows that. The fighters they called out in the aftermath is quite a telling list. Old, chinny and low-output. Sounds good for his 0. What about high-output? Granite-chinned? Prime? We will see. The kid did great against Vargas, so props to him.
      How you doing big real deal Will.. you know me by name.
      nigel benn’s son seems like a real deal.
      his pops got up after being knocked outta the ring and crippled an Emanuel Stewart/steward, protege!

        All valid points... I’m going on guts, feelings... I’m just seeing something great in him.

        ive been wrong before, Allen Iversin.. my guy from George Town!

            Not sure but I'm honestly kind of interested to see where this goes now.

              I don't rate him as high as Ortiz and Boots but this guy has progressed very well the last few years. Seemed like it was just yesterday when he was struggling against cab drivers. Now? He's out classing some solid vets. Have to remember he was only 19 years old when he turned pro and barely had any amateur fights. The best is still to come with him.
