Conor Benn has now been removed from the Ring Magazine welterweight rankings following his positive drugs tests. They were waiting for the outcome of Benn's BBBofC/UKAD investigation before making a decision, but have removed him as he has not co-operated with this investigation.

I highly doubt Benn cares about not being in the ring rankings. All about the big names and money. Basically if he has another 2-3 fights people would have forgotten and moved on just like other boxers who have failed and now are big stars.

Exactly
He doesn’t care or belong in the upper echelons of Welterweights of LightMiddles.
No where near.

He’s a cash grab merchant.

See what happens when you cooperate with the drug testing companies and face it head on. If Benn is so innocent he’d do the same and receive a similar verdict from UKAD or VADA instead of just hanging on to some contradicting statement from the bent WBC that he ended up denying anyway.

Khan’s just made that up for his Twitter feed. The truth is Khan was a pretty standard UKAD fail with an average length ban of 2 years. If UKAD actually thought there was nothing in it and he was basically innocent, they could have given him a 3 month ban instead …but they didn’t.

Despite this thread being nearly 40 pages, I am not sure that many people are that interested in Benn.

Apart from the Eubank fight, who is going to buy a ticket to watch him fight or buy a PPV ?

As others have correctly pointed out, this place is only a small percentage of boxing fans.

The percentage that the promoters are worried about is that of the casual boxing fan. And the majority of the casuals probably dont even know or who are NOT bothered about Benn failing a test.

Look at white collar boxing .. a lot of fighters are roided or drugged to the hilt and the casual fans go to the white collar shows i there thousands.

Digressing … if the white collar show fighters were drugs tested how many of them would get caught out. In addition if drug testing watch how many white collar promoters sack it.

You under estimate the power of the casual boxing fan.

Got a feeling Hearn is gonna write this one off against the tax , and just call Benn a buisness loss , Loyalty from Hearn will only last till the dollars stop coming ,, the Bbbc have played a blinder , coming out threatening to ban anyone involved with a Benn circus , means Sims could get banned , credited official will not be available , if they stick to there word suppose Hearn himself could find his promoters liscence in jeapordy , all in all it makes it very difficult to promote the toe rag , at some stage and probably soon Hearn will look at him has a bad investment , consider him a tax write off and move on ,

Hope that happens very soon , would really like to see Benn then struggle to pay for his expensive house , his Porche , and see the bankcrutcy people come in then he can go back to living the privilige live he always told everyone he grew up with sponging off daddy .

Can't stand the obnoxious prick

Really good piece from Donald McRae here.
We're all guilty to some extent, because we turn a blind eye and want to see the fights.

Cracking article and expect no less from Mr Dark Trade McRae. I remember when Eddie burst on the scene and all us boxing fans were so excited and behind him. And he has continued to have a great track record of not ripping off fighters.

But as that article clearly points out, he's so full of hypocrisy and driven crazy by the green, he's lost all sense of morality. I guess we are the real fools to expect any better as boxing from it's very earliest days was a corrupt and dirty sport plagued by criminal influence. Within the ring is where the warriors exhibit sweet skills and shed blood is where some purity can be found but outside of it, it would appear there is practically none.
