How is it that Floyd got away with doing the samething in the Welter Weight Division?

Double standard.

I am not defending Forrest but Floyd should have been stripped too.

BoxingScene.com has been advised that interim-champion Sergio Martinez has been elevated to the status of "full" junior middleweight champion by the WBC. Martinez became the mandatory challenger to the crown in 2007. He chased for a fight with champion Vernon Forrest for the better part of two years. [details]

It has come to fruition, my boy is gonna dominate this division, lol!!!
