    has anyone else noticed that every champion at 140 has question marks over there titles?

    D Garcia - kept his title after getting beat by Herrera ,then goes on to fight the guy who empties my septic tank:lol:

    Peterson - robbed his title against khan, then fails a drug test, then gets the senses knocked out of him by Lucas and is still the 'champ':lol:

    Algieri - got a gift against Ruslan after taken a beating and becomes a champion:lol:

    even the WBA normal champion Jessie Vargas got a gift against Khabib Allakhverdiev. terrible judging.

    has there ever been a division where all the champions have question marks like that hanging over them

    I would have to say Middleweight of 2012...

    WBC- Chavez Jr.
    WBA- Golovkin
    WBO- Quillin
    IBF- Geale

    -Sergio was horribly stripped of his WBC title for Chavez to fight for it from vacancy against Zbik.
    -Golovkin had won his WBA from vacancy over beyond unworthy Nilson Tapia (14-2) and only defended it against Fuchigami and Ouma.
    -Quillin fought for the vacant WBO against N'Dam, as Pirog had recently been stripped.
    -Geale was most legit champion with some lineage in his IBF title, having won it in Germany from Sylvester.

    Faught and received is one thing it's a sign of transition

    When all the guys are champions dispute being beat getting knocked out and receiving gifts and failing drug tests it's worse

    That's also why I bitched at the Peterson facing Matthysse at 141 pound catchweight. It was simply Golden Boy milking having two titlists instead of Danny Garcia being triple unified, which he currently should be (Herrera fight not factored).

    I think Vargas beat Khabib in a close one. Can't cite him as completely undeserving, or at least your argument for him wouldn't be any different than disagreeing with any judges outcome (it's like saying Troy Ross should be champ at Cruiser and YPH shouldn't; at a certain point it just is what it is). I also feel that Algieri beat Provodnikov... So to some extents I don't agree with you.
