    both fighters should be stripped of their titles, really dont see the point of having this fight at a catch weight

    Just thought that the WBC will probably leave the belt on Garcia in the thin hope he makes a big money defence with somebody dropping down from welter or maybe a Broner fight...I can't really think there's much money in the other fighters at 140 so no point stripping him

    Peterson still having the IBF belt is a disgrace. Why was he not stripped after found guilty of taking peds.
    Smashed from pillar to post by Mattyhse and still allowed to call himself a world champ.

    what weird is Peterson is not a big name or well followed yet keeps his titles, if he was a huge name you could see the IBF letting him keep them.
