Comments Thread For: IBF: Lamont Peterson Will Be Stripped if Garcia Wins

[The Big Dunn]

makes sense. would he then fight for it at 140 in his next fight?

WBC should strip Danny Garcia too.

Seriously. Danny ain't defended his title in how long now? Can't make weight and he got his butt whooped by Herrera. That belt should be vacated too or at least belong to Herrera. Neither of these guys should hold bets at 140.

I don't quite get why him winning or losing this fight that is not a 140 pound fight has any real bearing on why he should keep the belt.

Not that I am saying he shouldn't be strippe, but it should have been when they announced this fight (if not before that) was not at 140 for the belts.

Even if a sanctioning body does the right thing it is always a day late and a dollar shot~

Kind of late. He should have been stripped once he got busted for juicing, and should have lost it to Matthysse.

How is Matthysse not #1 on the IBF?

Because the GREAT Cesar Rene Cuenca obviously is the best fighter on the planet at 140. 47 have tried 47 have failed and 2 of them were actually KO'd!

I'm curious to see IK Yang though.

cuneca and Ik yang.... LOL
Bob gonna jump all over this

About time. Since this fight was announced as a non title fight the public outcry has just gotten bigger and bigger until finally the IBF has to do something. It's a joke that Peterson won this belt in the first place when he admitted to being on PED's and failed the drug test after the fight with Khan. Peterson got stripped of the other belts he won from Khan except IBF. Then he got KO'd to Matthysee and still got to keep the IBF belt that he never should of had in the first place. Now another fight above weight against Danny. IBF has a lot of egg on their face with PEDerson.
