If you were the IBF, in a non-title fight... Would you...

Let Lamont Peterson keep his belt after that performance? I know they said they were going to strip him. Thoughts?

[Dindu_Nuffin]

I'd strip hm, but also make him mandatory challenger - so if he wants, he can get a shot at the title for his next fight.

[Dr Rumack]

It was one of his better performances. He still has a future at the top.

[The Chancellor]

IBF should have stripped him the moment he was exposed as a steroids cheat. Typical American, can never win a fair fight.

[John Locke]

Peterson should just move up to 147, he's big and skilled enough. He has a hard time making 140.

[Beercules]

Be a bum? Yes.

[The Gambler1981]

He should have lost that belt a long ass time ago, now he can fight for the belt I suppose or be in the mix like have 4 fighters fight in semi-finals then have the winner meet for the IBF.

[SeekDaGreat]

I'd strip hm, but also make him mandatory challenger - so if he wants, he can get a shot at the title for his next fight.

Not a bad idea, actually.

[Outworn]

Make him fight Matthysse again for it.

Regardless of the Matthysse-Provodnikov outcome.


Btw who should be fighting for the title now thats vacant?

[El-blanco]

I think he should just move up, he looks stronger and overall much better clocking in at 160 on fight night.
