Who do people think is the best modern era champion (anything this century) in terms of fighting the best opponents. Had a look at PBF record and whilst he was a decision machine, the resume is very impressive. Can’t think of a big name in his era he didn’t fight.

Pretty boy Floyd ? He has great names but all picked at the right time. Same with Cancelo.

First name that comes to mind is Froch and his run in and around the super 6. Pascal - Taylor - Dirrell - Kessler - Abraham - Johnson - Ward - Bute.
 
Dunno how it can go ahead if true. If Eubank loses he has a ready made excuse and public will be pissed off.
 
It’s still going ahead at the moment. Had Eubank winning this anyway but if he were to lose I suppose it gives him an easy get out after saying he’d retire if Benn beats him. Now he can just say all that’s out the window as Benn cheated so it doesn’t really count.
 
Apparently failed in September and has since tested negative.

Female fertility drug that enhances testosterone.

Statement from both promotions say the fight will go ahead.
 
Taking clomid?

From what I remember - it's mostly used in post cycle therapy so he's been cycling something a lot stronger beforehand if true.
 
What a clown, hope Eubank smashes him even more than i originally wanted him too.

Hearn loves a juicer in his stable.

BBBC have forbidden the fight taking place. Unreal.

I wonder if they can just circumvent the BBBoC seeing as it's a non-title fight and get somebody else to license it like they did with Haye-Chisora all those years ago?

Feels like too big a fight to fall through at this late stage, especially when all parties want it to happen still.
 
Fight will happen and he'll still get smashed. Shame though , way to shit on the family name.


And what's this about a Lizzy belt custom made by the WBC for the shields fight

I think they would have but time constraints mean it would probably be unlikely.
 
I liked Benn leading up to this but now don’t know how to feel about him. Pissed me off royally.
 
Benn should know the dangers of boxing after his dad's fight with Gerald McClellan. Taking any banned substance for advantage is disgusting.
 
What happens if Benn goes in and knocks the absolute shit outa Eubanks, everyone kinda expecting Eubanks to win would be a very dark day for boxing..
 
I had a feeling something would happen to jeopardise this fight. I'm really looking forward to it as the build up has been great. It's weird because I love Nigel but am not a fan of his son whereas I love Eubank JR yet never was his father's biggest fan.
 
No ones has come out of this looking particularly good have they, especially the promoters still trying to find a way for it to happen.

The BBoC only seem to have owned up to knowing when it was leaked in the press too. They've known for ages. Weird.

Benn will struggle to explain this away too as i can't imagine it's found naturally in anything he should be near.
 
Why was the fight even sanctioned in the first place? The weight difference is far too big
