Since his run-in with the authorities Conor has had 2 fights & weighed over 154 for both of them. Now, I appreciate, you have made the subtle & correct point that Benn is not necessarily innocent of doping but has not been proved guilty. Which I accept, but since the VADA 'incident' he hasn't come close to making 147. Can he make that weight clean? I'm doubtful.

That's incorrect, he weighed under 154 for both of them; 153 and 150, in two fights he was quite obviously undersized in.

He popped for a PCT, not a weight cutting drug. So, even from that standpoint I'm not seeing the reasoning.

He's made it clear he intends he fight at 147, I don't see any logical reason to suggest he can't make 147.

'Benn has already blatantly ducked Avaneseyan once. I highly doubt he takes that fight'.[/I]

Firstly, Benn had a lot of options when he ducked Avaneseyan &, indeed, Essumann, then. He has a lot fewer options now. Also, the option now is Avaneseyan after being beaten down by Crawford. He almost certainly is not the same man he was before Terence did what Terence does to MoFos. Will Benn duck him again? Probably, yes, but I could see the fight happening.

I mean, I'd love to see it.

I'd like to see him fight Essumann aswell.

I don't think he beats either of them.
