    He may as well, his days of being liked by many are likely long gone (if they ever existed!)

    Fighters have made good money from people wanting to see them take a beating for decades.

    You would think that wouldn't you. But I guess it will remain another one of the many obvious questions that Eddie Hearn will ensure he's never asked.

    lol

    30 eggs a day, 30 eggs a week, supplements made from egg protein. All are laughable excuses and blatant lies. He had clomid in his system because he's a juicer. Only a complete idiot would genuinely believe otherwise.

    Do find it funny that people think Conor has the mental toughness to play the heel:

    • He cried in his interviews in October when he said he wasn't a drug cheat
    • He cries in IFL TV interviews when he talks about the sacrifices he has made, a remind of those sacrifices:
      • Moving from Australia to a gated complex in brentwood
      • Signing a 6 figure contract with matchroom
      • Never had to sell tickets or find sponsors
      • Could live the life of a full time boxer and not have to work
      • Could avoid any domestic rivals and regional area belts as he knocked over tin cans
    • Got the petrol with his wife in IFL TV interviews coz she had the audacity to talk about him to Kugan
    • Abused a disabled bloke (Robin deakin)
    • Turned off his comments on his posts coz he could face being called out for being a cheat
    Let me tell you what the future looks like for conor
    • Fighting to half empty crowds in the middle east in circus show fights
    • Fighting early on the bill in the US to am indifferent crowd
    • Non acceptance in the boxing community in the UK by the majority of fighters and trainers
    • Unable to fight in the UK and mired in legal battles
    • UK audience 70 to 90% wanting him to get properly beaten up
    • Constantly getting question about why he failed
    • Having a blackmark against his name for good

    Come off it, he's not Mayweather. Most people won't want to see him at all, never mind see him lose.

    So a 270 page document to claim it was a tainted supplement? This gets less and less believable by the day.

    Unlike Conor’s non stick pan he will always be seen as a cheater.

    If you are innocent you don’t behave how he has.

    If it was me and I failed a test when I was innocent, I wouldn’t keep on training and assume it would work itself out (whilst paying my legal team overtime to threaten anyone with litigation to keep it hidden) I also would be transparent and keep the public in the loop so I can control the narrative and avoid any misinformation. I would also keep the board of control in the jurisdiction in the loop and provide responses to queries so they can clear me of wrongdoing.

    They have been poorly advised. The belligerent approach has worked in the past with the BBBoC but the story now has gathered legs. It wasn’t a retrospective test for a previous fight, it was for an upcoming fight whilst having ludicrous weight and rehydration limits in for his opponent.

    I think it has just left a bad taste in the mouths of the public. Not in the sort of way where they will pay for his PPVs to see him lose, but not buy them as they have no faith he is not gaining unfair advantages.

    He will be fighting abroad for the foreseeable. Let’s see how good he really is in foreign shores against live opponents. His best win is Algieri who’s best performance in the last decade was in Jacobs kitchen prior to the Canelo fight

    No not at all. The 270 page document was about issues with the VADA process and contamination in the labs. That was thrown out by WBC/VADA as nonsense.

    So Team Benn issued the WBC with a food diary saying "I eat eggs", WBC accepted that. Now he's kopping loads of flack, Benn has now told the press it's an egg white formula.
