    If that were true you'd be very rich. You know nothing but suspect something.

    To be honest, it's the same with Benn. We suspect a lot but if any of us knew what led to the failed test, it would be public. I suspect we'll never know.

    WBC have only investigated one of the fails? So who is investigating the 2nd?

    Thats true but ultimately with Conor i know what i need to know to nake a personal judgement, he turned pro look less than ordinairy, went life and death with a belgian journeyman ex kick boxer. Disapears for the best part of the year and shortly after starts knocking out albeit past it but season pros who fought are world level. Then he fails two drug tests. Maybe im wrong, maybe ther is some science i dont understand but when i hear hooves i think horses not zebras.

    So predictable. Hearn and Benn will be demanding apologies momentarily. Absolute sham.

    None of these tinpot alphabet organisations should have anything to do with the safety aspects of the administration of the sport itself. If someone wants to pay to have them and their belts in attendance then fine, but the state where the bout is taking place should have their own officials present to ensure the rules and the law where appropriate is folllowed and they should be the ones ruling on any infractions.

    Who actually cares about Conor Benn fighting again?
    Why is Hearn pulling out every underhanded trick in the book to get him back?
    He's not a popular boxer, especially after the way he has conducted himself since his 2 failed drugs tests.

    Also the bit that is funny is the term always being used "COULD be contamination" not THERE WAS

    I think enough people do care though. The people who know there boxing don't want to see him in the ring again but plenty of people who I suppose you could call casual fans want to see him fight. Plenty of people I work with still follow him and want to see him back in the ring.

    I really don't think he has a big following even among the casuals.
    It was just the Eubank fight that was huge due to their dads.

    I suppose I would like to watch him just to get smashed though

    Getting cleared by the WBC is minor

    Get cleared by the British board too and i might pay attention
