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

Uh oh........

About time. The belts don't mean an awful lot nowadays but Peterson certainly shouldn't have had one after testing positive post Khan fight and then getting flattened 1 pound above light-welterweight.

Can't see him beating Garcia, but have been wrong many times before....

Ufc depends on single fighters, same with wwe, and nascar and tennis and golf

I do agree that having a bunch of fake world titles helped it gain popularity in certain parts of the world but all it did was create tons of confusion and discredit the titles, and I also believe they have better matchmaking in Europe than they do the US

They weren't fake world titles, some of those champions were either comparable or better than WBC or WBA champions. Titles have always, and I mean always, had value insofar as fans care about the guy with the title. The fighter gives the title value in the eyes of the public. Sanctioning bodies have hindered the sport in numerous ways, from their corruption, from mandating terrible challengers, and by effectively hindering the best fights from happening far too often but I think that has been more than counter-balanced by effectively allowing more tv channels to put on championship fights and allowing champions to reign in other parts of the world.

The UFC is not bigger than boxing, WWE is not even a sport. NASCAR (or better yet Formula One), golf and tennis do have the permanency of annual prestigious events to give the sport stability.

This is more the WBC's fault and their ****** unification rules.

Lucas vs Lamont should have been for the WBC Silver and IBF belt except the WBC wouldn't sanction the fight because they don't believe in unification fights. So the fight was made at 141 with neither belt on the line. If the WBC allowed unification than Lucas would have had the IBF belt after beating Lamont, and Danny would have the IBF after beating Lucas and we wouldn't have this fiasco of the IBF champ losing and fighting CW yet still retaining the title.

And yet Danny and Floyd both have WBC belts and another belt simultaneously. Guess the rules only apply to some boxers.

The WBC didnt santion the fight as a unification bcuz you can "unify" with a silver belt
The wbc silver isnt even a real title, its a fancy word for the #5 contender

WBC should strip Danny Garcia too.

exactly! kid hasnt defended in how long?

Belts mean little to nothing.

even more of a reason to boo the new pbc belts that are bin production!

It was the interim title to be precise

Seeing as Broner is Number rated 6th by IBF and Matthysse not rated at all(somehow) theyre not fighting for the title anytime next unfortunately. I hope Garcia wins Peterson is a disgrace.
