    He hasn't fought at 147 in over 3 years and he's coming off a loss. So of course they'll give him a welterweight title fight.

      I do not understand what you're trying to convey here. Please elaborate. Thanks.

        Don't worry, I'll translate:

        To compare this to Bud vs Canelo is a sin = To compare this to Bud vs Canelo is a sin

        Bud can box and Canelo is not boiling down = Bud can box, while Benn cannot. Canelo's weight cut won't be anywhere near as brutal as Eubank Jr's.

        Bud is a surgeon, not a rude boy = Bud is an exceptionally high quality fighter who can pick apart an opponent with precision, Conor just be kinda thuggin'.

        and Canelo owns 168. He slept Smiths that slept Eubank. = Canelo (beef tacos aside) is a legit SMW champ, while Eubank was IBO champ. Canelo pulverised Liam Smith, who beat Eubank in one of their two fights.

        & you Sir, are welcome!

          Help me out and anyone in Boxing Scene, adderall...are you a doctor, when did you clearly state that Benn was like someone on adderall before you responded to me, but you're not assuming anything...and you "thought he was on drugs" is assuming a lot of things.

            They are different weights and have no place in the same ring , it proves that Jr. is shot or has never been that good , there is hope for Benn given the right guidance and opponents , fighters like Ennis would annihilate him , Jr. needs to hang em up .

              He hasn`t fought at 147 for 3 years and he is coming form a loss.

              But yeah, he is a name in Uk and traveling there would make a perfect sense for any 147 champ.

                If anyone thought there would be any other outcome clearly don't know boxing, the rematch goes the same way. Both these guys are conning the public for money and neither of them will win a world title

                  Dude. Log off. You taking this out of hand now. I said what I said. I thought the guy was on drugs when I was watching the fight. That's my opinion not a fact. I am not even promoting that narrative. You asked me and I answered. Nobody will address your comment because it's ridiculous. That's why my orginal comment left it open to anyones subjective opinon. I didn't want to accuse the kid. It was something that popped in my head. What does a doctor has to do with anything. Do you need to be a doctor to determine a drunk or crack head ? Log off buster lol

                  it isn't like he didn't fail test before.

                    Don’t do it. These type of fights typically ruin fighters by shaving several years off their primes and careers. This fight wasn’t for sport.

                    It was a personal hate grudge match between two men who absolutely loathe one another. It had that Benny Paret Emile Griffith feel to it.

                      Look at Weasel Eddie glazing the little fraud who clearly lost. No sane person believes he won. The fact that Barrios is the only champ at 147 he'd dare put Con Man in with says a lot.
