    might be more of a Promotion Stategy so that the Loser of the fight GBP will still be able to market them as Champions...I really don't matter to me as long as they fight IT DON'T MATTER!

      I don't get it man. If the tournament goes through as planned there will be one recognized champ at 140 demoting all of the other "champions" to paper status.

      If the fights weren't happening, then by all means ***** and complain but there really is no need to at this point.

        Who was it addressed by? Because Lucas himself said it, it must be true? No one gives a damn when Floyd denies being the exaggerated 160lbs on fight night, and claims to be 150lbs instead.
        Either he took it or he wasn't going to get a fight. What choice would you make? Same shit when people get on Manny. No one forced them either, but they weren't going to get the fight without conceding on the CW.

            Won't say that belts don't have their purpose, but as others have stated, the most important thing is that the fight actually takes place. One pound isn't gonna make much of a difference.

              IBF is the one who let Peterson keep their belt when he admitted he had testosterone pellets BEFORE he fought Amir Khan. I don't trust their credibility anymore, especially when it concerns Lamont.

                Am I wrong? The idea of a unification fight is to have one of the boxers win all the belts.

                What's in it for the promoters if the boxer has to give one of the belts up so that a competitor can pick it up?

                  Goes both ways. People on here are no more credible than that guy in the video or the IBF. It's all speculation. We don't know which side wanted this or why. And we won't know unless a reporter presses GBP, the WBC and the IBF for answers.

                    Lol they always bring that **** up. Even after the commission took the pills and tested them themselves.

                      So we're supposed to believe some dude who's recording his windshield? Yea... no. Ill wait for the WBC or GBP to come out with the official statement.
