Should have quietly taken his bam and got on with it, boxing is so dirty anyway that it would have been quickly forgotten. Refusing to engage the process and throwing tantrums like a child has completely fvcked his career, maybe permanently.
100% agree with this, but he has made himself one of the most disliked boxers in the world

He will always be known as a cheat to the general public.

Most who watch high level sports regularly will know that they are all juicing, including the ones who are talking negatively about it the most. But the average joe soaps are probably buying the BS of very few juicing, although I'm not too sure as it seems to be common sense that nearly every high performance athlete is. You have to be in order to be competitive. Conor handled everything like a petulant kid and that reaction and behavior is what mainly turned people against him permanently as there is no sign of him showing any maturity.

Definetly was.nt Peds that turned me against him , for that i just look at him shake my head and think F$%^&wit to the highest degree , the actual peds i'm tempted to just shrug my shoulders and say Oh well another one , then consider most are probably on them at the highest level ,

No to me its him has a person i look at him and see a snivelling , cocky , full of shite weight bully who had a priviliged up bringing yet STILL has a giant chip on his shoulder , i think of him refusing to fight anyone decent , yet him and his father having the audacity to dance over , a hand picked , way past his best older boxer on the floor .

Then i think in a perfect world ,in my dreams , he is allowed one more fight BUT only against Boots Ennis , , then after Boots gives him a sustained beating for 9 rnds , but always stopping short of ko'ing him , Boots in the final rnd hits him with a left hook that lifts him of the ground drops him on his back for a count of 10 minuites , , does a dance over his unconsoius frame , then when his dad has something to say , he does the same to him .

Pair of pratts of the highest order , , he was always a big headed little twerp but i'll never forget the two of them dancing around a boxer on the floor , absolutly no respect especielly for a fight that was always hand picked to make the juiced up little C%^&nt look better than he is

He’s signed up for the latest Celebrity SAS Who Dares Wins. The publicity mainly in The Sun keeps stating he was cleared. Forgetting to mention he’s currently suspended again following the UKAD appeal.

I'd like him to receive a more sustained beat down for the Algeri celebrations. He has called out all the top guys, about time he fought one.

Eddie should just feed him to Boots. Benn still has Avanesyan problems though

Yes, I thought Boots was a great suggestion because his slight lack of power would ensure a longer fight than Ava, who I think knocks Benn out fairly smartly if he hasn't lost a step.

*slight* lack of power.
I guess I was thinking of his last few where he went 10 & 12, and 6 with Lipnets who I think is quite durable - and also thinking Benn can take a shot or two :maybe:

Pre-juice Benn got dropped twice in the first by feather-fisted 10-9-3 Cedric Peynaud.

Shocked he signed up for that. Participants usually end up in hospital. He could easily get a career ending injury.

No career to speak of right now and desperate for cash one would imagine. Add in that a PR advisor may have told him it’s a chance to salvage his image and it’s not difficult to see why IMO

By a long, long way. I think Tommy has probably taken more juice as well looking at his body.

Benn can`t have made that much in his career could he? Must have spent a fortune on lawyers the past couple of years. He`s gonna need a couple of big paydays or he`ll be needing a job in a few years. With that attitude of his he aint gonna be a candidate for employee of the month.

He has made a real mess of his career, pishing away his prime.

Beat up a pack of has beens in Vargas, Granados, Algieri and Van Heerden. Never fought a decent domestic opponent.

Fails a test and the two fights post allegations he`s looked feather fisted.

What a shitshow the whole mess is.

The only quality win on his record is Formella. He looked great in that fight, quick and accurate.

Cordina, Cash and Benn. All gone from knockout merchants to shells of themselves. No way is that a coincidence.

Should have taken the ban and moved on. Done a Garcia, say he must have taken it unknowingly. No believes he`s innocent as it is, so he might as well have done the time and got on with his career.

You don`t hear Hearn talking mush about him these days. Too busy with the Saudi

Yep that is exactly the case - and it is another one of my little pet hates with this venture. If its not one of his excellency's favourites then you are basically forgotton about these days.

Went from feather fisted boxer to something like his Dad, albeit against very poor opponents, then back to feather fisted again....hmmmmm.

Whether it is Ava, Eubanks Jnr or anyone with a bit of dig, he's going down. Relied far too much on his Dad's past hype, taking out weak opponents and then, back to how I remembered him.

Loved his Dad but just think he (Conor) is a bit dodgy.
