Comments Thread For: Chris Eubank Jnr: ?What Conor Benn did was unforgivable?

[BustedKnuckles]

I respect Eubank Jr because he seems to be the only fighter who has spoken out about that cheat conor benn. It has always concerned me that other boxers don't speak out against cheats. The only conclusion i can reach is that they too must be cheating. I would say most boxers cheat otherwise they would speak out.

I don't know. Why is he still going on about it? We all know many or most boxers juice, so why beat a dead horse? He was found out. You sort of beat him. Move on.

A lot of boxers are on PEDs - more than we know about - but that is not the only reason to not speak out - they need to look after their career and if they pi55 off promoters ( and why don't they speak out much) then it hurts their income

Almost lost?? I get it I'm not a fan of either but grow up.

Great argument! Your rhetoric is Socrate caliber. I concede victory..

It's a big issue for eubank, as his dad put Watson in a coma, and junior injured Nicky blackwell.But
The rematch can't really have any clauses. Eubanks already proved he can win disadvantaged, no need to display that bravery again

I had eubank jr winning the fight by 6 rounds.

He's got every right to still be going on about the cheating. He killed himself to get below his natural weight to the 157lbs catchweight - looked incredibly emancipated and all the while Conor Benn is taking clomiphene enabling his body to produce higher amounts of testosterone so he enters the ring significantly more powerful on fight night. That fight could've resulted in tragedy especially as the head is more vulnerable to trauma when fighters are severely dehydrated like Eubank Jr was

So let's say you're right, and it's legit to keep going on about it for years. When in your opinion does it become wearisome to keep bringing it up? 5 years? A decade? Ever?

Fighters juice. It is what it is. Im not saying its right, but its common and not going away. If he doesnt want his head more vulnerable to trauma, dont dehydrate.

Either way its old news and there are more recent instances of fighters popping dirty if that what one wants to talk about, for whatever reason.

Until they start dishing out real bans & fines chancers like eggs will always chance it. Especially as, if you throw money & lawyers at the bbboc they always fold.
