Lamont Peterson He won by a narrow margin (with a lot of help from the referee and judges) against Khan to win the IBF/ WBA titles. He was then found to be doping and WBA stripped him of his title. Why didn't the IBF also strip him? Fight against Matthysse was held at 141 lbs (just 1lb over LWW limit). This was a non title fight because they were fighting at a catchweight over the LWW limit. WTF was this catchweight about besides avoiding a defence against a legitimate challenger. Matthysse destroyed Peterson yet Peterson clinged onto his IBF title. Since then, Peterson fights no names and is taking the IBF title hostage. As soon as he steps up again, the title will be going. JOKE OF A WORLD CHAMPION
Won by a narrow margin whilst on testosterone pills in his hometown with a hometown ref legit champion for me :thumbsup
He beat Khan, get over it. Point deduction was fair.. he was warned multiple times. Khan fought like **** and lost.
Peterson was on PEDs, he should have been stripped. Matthysse beat him badly. What was that 141 lbs catch weight all about? Peterson is a true paper champion.
Hardly fought like a *****, he traded with a bloke who was on performing enhancement drugs in his hometown. You haven't a clue mate.
thread should replace 'world champion' with 'belt holder' most 'world champions' in this sport are anything but
Although the fight was close against Khan, there was most certainly a case for the decision win for Peterson. He exposed Khan big time in that fight.
Scott Quigg. Also, Peterson looked like a big LMW in the ring that night against Khan. He looked massive.
