    Even if the fight is re-scheduled I am sure the terms change in huge favour for Eubank that Benn will bottle out of. The other thing is I;m not sure if Benn is going to be serving any suspension. And lastly for Eddie's pockets sake, who is interested in going to see it after the same people already feel ripped off by the shenanigans of this one

    You misapprehend. Those who believe PEDs are ubiquitous or the norm in boxing aren't shocked or outraged that Conor is on something. Nor are they singling him out. They're using the occasion of his positive test as an opportunity (not the first, nor the last) to spotlight the hypocrisy of promoters and official bodies and the whole disingenuous charade that is the industry's pretence of conscientious interest in clean sport.

    I'd pay to put a contract on the head of anyone who even contemplated getting a Conor Benn tattoo :facepalm:

    I wouldn't even get an Usyk one done and I'm the CEO of I Am Feel inc.

    :lol: :lol: :lol:

    Even if this fight were fully cancelled and his payday gone, Junior has surprisingly come out of this whole episode with Benn covered in glory.


    Hearn on the ropes. Hate to see it.

    It's funny to see Eubank being the good guy and he's genuinely in his element being able to troll Benn. He's already won the third fight.

    I am sure not every fighter is a cheat and I am not convinced it is as many fighters cheating as people think. Clearly, some do and Benn is one of them. I think this has caused a bit more condemnation because there is no ambiguity (although I am not sure tainted beef is either) To the best of my knowledge there is no accidental intake of what Benn had in his system, where others have been able to put an excuse out there, no matter how lame. That could be why there is more outrage on this one, or it could be because of fan agendas like you say.

    Yeah there's this video going around where basically Fury is shown kind of acknowledging he's also taken PED's:

    Al Siesta praising the intelligent matchmaking of Conor by keeping him away from anyone who can wobble a toddler

    I told you puncher avoidance is a thing

    A big thing

    They did exactly the same with prime Roy

    This content is protected


    In fact, there are numerous parallels between Conor and Roy

    As said, both kept away from punchers because of their fragile mandibles

    Even if you've got a very good chin facing punchers is still very high risk because every second your opponent is still standing is fraught with danger and the hype train can very easily derail in the blink of an eye

    Both artificially enhanced themselves with performance enhancing drugs which increase their power, physical strength, speed, stamina, recovery etc.

    Both had their positive tests swept under the carpet and had it not been for some top class investigative journalism the truth likely never would've surfaced

    Drained to death CEJ was Conor's drained to death Toney

    I have no reason to believe Conor's a sexual deviant or a blood sport enthusiast like Roy but he definitely has the shifty eyes of one
