Mauricio Sulaiman defends Eubank Jr./benn as “main actors”, opening the way in which Canelo’s match divides

WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman, believes that the winner of the family scrap on Saturday between Chris Eubank Jr. and Conor Benn is worthy of heading to the top 168 to obtain a shot in the world title against the unified average weight champion of Canelo Alvarez.

Sulaiman says that the winner on Saturday between Eubank Jr. and Benn will be a “major player in boxing in the world”, which is partly true but only in a way of celebrity. These two do not belong to the same ring with Canelo or to all the best fighters in their respective divisions.

It would be a sad joke and a new degradation of boxing so that winner Eubank Jr.-Benn Combatte Canelo. It is the equivalent of taking unsuitable or youtuber and put them with the Mexican star. These two are the Bush League. If Benn and Eubank Jr. were legitimate, they would have fought elite level fighters years ago instead of sweet opposition.

False statutes of “higher level”

You cannot throw Eubank Jr. with IBF and the medium weight champion WBO Janibek Alimkhanuly and expect that it is still standing after four laps. You could not take Conor Benn and put it with the IBF and the Weight Welter Wba Jaron ‘Boots’ Boots’ Ennis or the WBO champion Brian Norman Jr. and always see it working after one or two laps.

“Both are classified, have been very classified for many years and are high in sport. A fight for the championship is feasible, “said WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman Sky Sports On the possibility of the winner of the British scrap on Saturday between Chris Eubank Jr. and Conor Benn could challenge Canelo Alvarez for his unified average weight titles.

“Absolutely. Canelo embarked on a new stage in his career. He will fight in Riyadh and should then fight in Las Vegas, and the winner this Saturday will be a major player in boxing in the world, certainly.”

How is Chris Eubank Jr “high level”? What is Sulaiman talking about? Eubank Jr. did not fight anyone to say that he is “high level” in sport. The 36 year old man above Liam Smith Do not count as a high -level fighter, and he is undoubtedly the best career victory by Eubank Jr.

Conor Benn’s best career victories came against the faded fighters, Chris Algieri and Chris Van Heerden. These guys are not high, and never really. Algieri briefly held the WBO title of 140 LB in 2014 when he beat Ruslan Provodnikov in an upheaval. However, in Algieris’ next fight, he was beaten by Manny Pacquiao, dropping six times. He then returned to mediocrity where he came from.
