    Why is Matthysse not ranked at WW?

    Lucas Matthysse officially had his fight with Peterson at 141, which is the WW division. Officially it was a welterweight fight so why isnt he a ranked WW?

      The welterweight division is hoping he ignores them and stays at 140

            Because he isn't in line to fight Mayweather yet. Just watch and see how he would be ranked there if Mayweather is interested in fighting him.

              Welters all deny his existance and just hope he is only a nightmare.

                Peterson wasn't ranked at WW, so where would you put him there? Certainly not top 10. You're getting into extreme subjectivity here

                  Devon made top 10 WW after beating Maidana

                  And he fought a top 140 guy at WW, that counts for something. Canelo became #2 at 154 beating on WWs and LWWs

                    They fought at '47, not '41.
