    Who ever thought a promoter would make out someone was something they are nowhere near being.

    Whilst that's true, has there ever been a more deluded boxer with an inflated sense of worth created by their promoter?

    It's all business , by the time CB retires he'll have earned multi millions and maybe even 8 figures (if he has fought CEJ) , don't take the promotion and self promotion too seriously, its all done purely in the pursuit of a pound note.

    In answer to your question id say CEJ runs him pretty close on that one.

    All fair points, Benn and Eubank seem further up their own backsides than most.

    True Bob, but at least Eubank has won the national title, fought at genuine world level, (albeit unsuccessfully), and has beaten some decent fighters.

    Agree with all of that and we shouldn't forget that the strike rate of detection is likely to be low due to short half lifes of the drugs, masking agents etc. So someone like Benn could have cheated numerous times previously before testing positive twice recently.

    Where are these multi or tens of millions going to come from exactly?

    And he’s actually been a PPV headline unlike Benn, despite the latter seemingly thinking that’s his career destiny

    And he pushed a peak BJS to a SD, in a fight he could have won, but for inexperience. Benn has been nowhere near a fighter with anything like that kind of pedigree, yet he acts as though he's the heir apparent, and shouldn't have to go through all that tedious fighting actual contenders to get a world title shot

    Yep eubank has at least fought the best in Britain where conman wouldn't even fight ananesyan.

    Christ scarf would box his ears off.

    Thought saunders boxed rings around eubank tbh.
