This is what Eddie Hearn and matchroom should do with Conor.
- Conor fight the unbeaten Ekow Essumann for the British title and if he get's past that ?
- Fight Avaneseyan for the European title ? If he gets past that ?
- Fight either Cody Crowley or Emmanuel Stannios (Both unbeaten)
And if (and this is a big "if") he get's past all the three of these ? He's ready for anyone (Spence, Craword, Ortiz, Ennis)
Maybe Eddie doesn't wanna show humility because some of the top guys in the WW division are with PBC (Spence, Ennis. Crowley) and they might not entertain a match up with a Hearn fighter. GBP only have two fighters in their whole book that's worth a dam (Vergil Ortiz and Ryan Garcia) but the normally cautious ODLH is willing to risk Ortiz aganist Avaneysean
But Eddie thinks we’re living in Creed 2 here
The coverage is gonna be the cheese olympics. "Yes-Yes. We know there Dad's fought 30 odd years ago. We know. We know they were legends. We know. We hear you Eddie. Good day"
Edddie "But their dads are in the press conference and they fought 30 years ago. They're legends of the sport and isn't it great that their sons are......"
"I SAID GOOD DAY !!"
I still think Conor is untested. He's still passing multiple choice, no hard questions. Chris is a tough nut for Benn, considering the quality of Benn's victims. Eddie should be focusing on getting Conor to climb his way to the top of the Welterweight ladder (by beating the guys I suggested) and getting a shot at the title or does he wanna turn Conor into a Brook or Khan, chasing paydays just to get stopped ?
As for Eubank ? Strange to say about a 32 year old but we still kinda don't know how good he really is. But fighting a smaller guy when he could be and SHOULD BE fighting at 160-168 but instead he wants to fight a Welterweight...GARBAGE! Come fight night Eubank will be a Super Middleweight maybe even a Light Heavy so I don't think Benn punches will effect him at all.
