    That's all you need to know. Peterson is no champion.

    Garcia should finish Peterson off and he will have achieved what Bradley and Khan failed to achieve.

    the IBF Belt was not at stake in that fight... just like how Chad Dawson was still champ after losing to Ward.. :bbb

    Because both sides wanted to weaken each other with a catch weight.

    -According to most people on this site, that is the indisputable fact.

    Matthysse didn't want to vacate his interim belt, so they fought at 141 lbs. technically, it wasn't a JWW bout. Hence, there was no title on the line.
