Went from feather fisted boxer to something like his Dad, albeit against very poor opponents, then back to feather fisted again....hmmmmm.
Did he turn into a big puncher or is this just a thing that gets thrown about? Prior to fighting Algieri and van Heerdon he was 18-0 (11 KOS) which considering he was fighting a lot of poor to average fighters isn't a great KO ratio. Yes Algieri and van Heerdon were decent looking stoppages at the time but both guys were getting on in age (37 and 34) and both at the end of their careers.

And he was probably on the gear at that time too and also his reactions when he won are shocking

I agree but it was the hype being pushed by Matchroom, at that time. Making him out to be some kind of dynamite hitter, He was a light hitting boxer and turned into a slugger and was putting away low level, past it, opponents.
Thing is, he still probably thinks he is some kind of KO merchant and that might unhinge him when he, eventually, fights someone half decent (which won't be for awhile).

Too be honest i think he's finished , he's too much of a headache for matchroom , he'll still want big money , his trainer will know without the help , he's very ordinary and with it, he's not much better, unless its an expensive, name who's looking for a payday.
Can't see king Tut tut paying out big dollars unless it was against someone like Boots and thats not gonna happen , and i think Benns ego is too inflamed to take local hall money , he really believes it was himself not daddys name , not the matchmaking , and illigal substances that got him there

He's yesterday's man. And his 'day' never happened in a ring.
He might as well start calling out Jake Paul and KSI. And be happy to secure a payday with a lesser YouTuber. His pro career is as dead as a Graham Linehan sitcom pilot.

They did initially stick by him. But then things got way out of the spin doctors hands when he tried to represent himself.
He is tainted, but then so are a lot of other boxers who are still getting opportunities. Including the super cheat Miller.

Benn like prime drink, hype is over and no ones cares anymore. Gonna take alot for any interests to come back but its boxing so im sure Eddie will work his magic if Benn doesnt get exposed before a big fight.

Will go down as a what-not-to-do when caught. We know you have to say you didn't take anything but all the petulant rubbish, crying to Piers Morgan for sympathy etc. Really poor.

I wouldnt be surprised if he's already sitting his ban out and it's just being kept quiet for the moment.

no one seems to know if there are some kind of ban deals that arent made public. theres a handfull of fighters that have been inactivate between 1-3 years and suddenly come back.

It's a joke that these bans are not made public. Tyler Denny was asking Felix Cash if he had been banned like that at a presser recently. I was just think about how poor it is that fighters can realistically ask other fighters that question at pressers. Don't fighters have a right to know if someone was banned?

I see Helenius "blamed Ukad's findings on the consumption of contaminated egg and chicken." He's quite right to highlight this - who will stop this concerted attack by poultry on defenceless boxers? First Benn due to egg consumption, now Helenius with contaminants from egg and chicken. That's a two-pronged attack on the poor Finn, and if the strict liability rule is extended all the way back along the food chain, as it obviously should be, then the poultry are solely responsible for what they have ingested. Therefore, if the egg-producing bird wasn't already busy producing even more eggs, and if the meat-producing bird wasn't already dead, I would suggest it is they that should be serving the ban.
