    I can see where he's coming from though. Imagine the Eubank fight had gone through only for the news to come out that Benn was on performance enhancing drugs, whilst Eubank had gone through hell making weight.

    I don't know.

    Here is how i see it and admitedly im no Poirot -

    • Benn turns pro with a very small limited am background
    • When he turns pro, he looks dreadful. I mean horrible as in i have seen novice amateurs in my old gym who would beat him. He didnt seem to have the power required for domestic level welterweights.
    • He goes life and death with a Belgian journeyman, gets a lucky decsion. Beats him again in a fair but lacklustre ten rounds and disapears for the best part of a year.
    • Comes back and looks noticibly bigger and more powerful.
    • Starts knocking out admitedly past it but guys who were around world level.
    • Then fails two drug tests and is banned by the BBBoC.
    • Benn tears up his BBBoC licence, provides evidence to the WBC (who have never been accused of impropriety before )
    • Without any evidence going public Benn and his promoter start proclaiming his innocence and that he should be allowed to fight.
    As said im not the world greatest detective but i think i can take a good guess at what happened.

    Forgive me if im wrong but they did in fact cancel the Eubank vs Benn fight ? So applying logic i assume they wouldnt authorise Benn vs (insert name) fight until the failed drugs test has been cleared up ? Ok maybe not officially a ban but in all but name it was a ban

    He has got Jnr down a to his lowest ever weight, he has then made him have a huge rehydration clause meaning it's impossible for him not to be dehydrated, all whilst know he has already pissed dirty once.... Then pisses dirty a second time and doesn't pull out of the fight.

    Without exaggeration Jnr could have been incredibly badly injured, and whilst in the background now playing the victim.

    And if anyone doesn't think he has been juicing, I have some magic beans to sell you.

    Good point. If he'd got a proper ban then he wouldn't be allowed to train with a proper gym/trainer would he? This way, drawing the whole process out for as long as they think required, and then go through the process with the BBBoC/UKAD and gets a X month backdated ban, then he's been able to train for most of his "ban" ??

    I guess they could refuse to sanction any fight he's in for say 2 yrs, but that would not be the same as a proper ban where he would not be able to train with professional trainers/sparring partners etc .... so I'd be loathe to think of it as a "ban". I guess fighting at a venue abroad somewhere wouldn't be difficult, but I don't know how easy it will be for him to get a foreign licence to box, I mean why don't all the caught ones do this if it was so easy ?

    They will not apply for a board licence again imo. He will be fighting under a Lichtenstein one or something. So they never have a UK hearing
