    I heard that they only investigated one of the failed tests, Which if true is utterly farcical

    Yeah that is it.

    I think, the one from the WBC Clean boxing program has been looked at. The second one despite still being VADA hasn't because Eddie Hearn paid for the test to be done, so in theory he is the governing body over that test.

    So I assume that means Eddie will conduct his own detailed investigation into that test.

    This is the reason he will still be a PPV star. Floyds PPVs did very well on the back of a lot of peoples hoping he will lose. Hearn will be coming out now saying Benn is the new Floyd.

    Con doesn't really have many big paydays right now after jnr got splattered.

    There's also a question mark if he'll maintain the explosiveness with the lower egg doses. So I wonder who they'll put him in with. I don't think him Vs opponents of the previous level will catch anyone's attention now.

    Maybe Kell brook at 147 with a rehydration clause?

    he’s just got away with juicing, you don’t honestly think he’s gonna stop now do you?
    He will probably juice more than he’s ever juiced before

    The thing is, as much as people wanted Floyd to lose, they kind of knew he wouldn't. And Floyd wound people up.

    Benn has zero charisma and is very likely to lose - Matchroom's only option is the "street" image that plays well with a sub-set of casuals. If anything that image might just work better as the bad guy.

    I darent click on it in case Pinocchio Hearns nose smashes my phone screen.

    Is it safe to assume it's a load of insulting hogwash?

    Why are people putting so much emphasis on the BBoC? The board didn’t exactly show themselves in a good light when they got the test results. They did nothing for weeks so why anyone wants them to be the arbitrator of all this I have no idea.
