Comments Thread For: Malignaggi: Benn Shouldn't Be in The Ring Until This Whole Thing is Over

I am totally lost on this now.

Has Benn’s suspension been lifted or not?

Paulie - hits - nail - on - head ................ he knows exactly whats up - the majority of top fighters are doping - so it's just a case of who can dope the best. Doping makes fighters stronger, more resilient and more explosive - which makes the sport more attractive to most fans. More attractive = more money for everyone. No need to fix something (the money machine) that's not broken.

I couldn’t disagree more with that.

Throughout history when boxers have been known to be clean the sport has churned out countless attractive matchups and generated plenty of money.

Don’t use that an excuse to condone dirty cheats.

How can it be over when those people in charge don't want it to be over? They're lazy as FK. Man how many years do you need to settle this matter? It's not like this is some cold-case crime where the body hasn't been found. This is about doping, just like any normal legal issue, which don't take effing years.

You got the wrong idea Roll. I'm absolutely not condoning it. Just saying that's the way it is and the reason nothing is done about it is because it suits the promoters and most fans. Promoters because of money and fans because of action.
of course we can get great contests between non doping fighters, but who do we know who they are? Past or present fighters?

I'm cynical about this, as you can tell.

Read Algieri was supposed to be on the DAZN broadcast for Benn but was pulled with pay. Matchroom doesn't want any mention of PEDs whatsoever.

Boy, you hit it on the head. Eighth round now and no mention of PED controversy. Announcers dance around the subject by mentioning that Benn has been out for many months, but no mention as to why.
