Thoughts on Connor Benn

[Primo Carnera]

You or somebody else listed his heart as an attribute, something that separated him from his competition and I just said that his heart was no bigger than his rivals (Eubank, Watson, Collins) Benn got stopped more times than those three fighters combined! Fighters like Benn get credit for having heart because they sell out and swing Hail Mary punches when things get tough but Eubank’s comeback against Watson was probably as impressive as Benn’s against the G-Man.

I did list his heart as an attribute, but I never said it separated him from the competition. And I never made any comparisons with any other fighter, you brought them all into it.
The thing is you jump in, make a rash statement like "his heart ain't all that, he quit." And later you have to admit he does have heart.
As for Eubank's comeback against Watson, by his own admission, that was "the biggest Hail Mary ever when things got tough", so what the fuck is the difference?
Benn hasn't got much heart , just throws Hail Marys when he's in trouble.
Eubank has more heart because he threw a big Hail Mary when he was in trouble.
Please clarify?

There is no difference but rarely do people talk about Eubank’s heart or call him a warrior (like they do Benn) I’m not saying Benn has no heart I’m just saying it’s not really an attribute he has over his rivals. His only advantage he has over them is his power which is negated by the fact his chin isn’t as good as theirs.

So basically because we mentioned Benn on a thread about his Son, you felt there was a lack of love and attention for Eubank Sr.
perhaps I need to go on the Eubank Jr. thread and start bigging up Nigel Benn!
I never even said he had MORE heart than anyone, I said it was an Attribute.
This was in direct reply to you saying something along the lines of "apart from power, he's got fuck all else."
For the record , I'm not even sure Benn's power was more than everyone else, I just think he had power.

We’re going around in circles here I like Benn, he was an exciting fighter but he came up short against his rivals. I’d rather watch Benn over Eubank, Watson and Collins but I don’t think he was better than those guys. I’m not sure what being the son of Benn counts for? JCC was on a completely different level to both Eubank and Benn but both his sons turned out to be average. Let’s not forget Joe Frazier’s son (Tyson’s quickest KO I think) Conor doesn’t punch like his dad and if you take away his dads power then what else was left (physically)
