Stanonius would be elevated to WBA Super right? The Only unknown is where the WBO would fall?
Yeah Stanny would be made full champion like Tank did after Haney vacated.

Santillian who beat Rocha for his WBO #1 status got it . Teo will probably take it from him though.

You know WBO stands for Whatever Bob Orders.

True.

But if (a big if) he pulls off a really good camp, I'd pick him to beat Benn off ring nous alone. Broner got problems, but he's got size at his weight class and a veterans bag of tricks and technique.
After seeing Conor Benn live (shouts out to Ring Gang Radio) and having such an obvious right hand which has no pop now and Broner having an A tier chin, it’s not completely out the realm of possibility..

But really it’s just wishful thinking cause it’s pretty much over for him. Man on Don King promotions which is the equivalent Of China for Pro Ball and getting fights pushed back :mjlol::mjcry:

Nah I hear you, but I'm never not surprised to see old champs or vets that are still active pull things out the bag in sparring, particularly against mediocre opposition, and especially mediocre opposition that telegraph (as you aptly described Benn's right hand).

Some ol hand over the mouth shyt in the clinch (backs to the ref), just like Floyd did against Logan Paul, things of that nature. Years of craft.:blessed: :salute:

don king was a scumbag for this but mccall was blessed with a god given ability to take shots without blinking and remaining clear eyed...even when he was mentally breaking down in the ring

I read the backstory about this a couple of years ago, McCall shouldn't have been anywhere near a boxing ring.
