Why is Lamont Peterson still IBF champ?

Lamont might win(MIGHT) win his next fight, but he'll lose the one after that. Can't really see him beating Garcia or Ruslan. Or Crawford

the thing that makes it even more wierd is that peterson hasnt won a fight since khan as far as i know, and how long ago was that

does anybody know how having peterson still champ even good/particularly profitable for the ibf?

GBP won the purse bid for the Jean fight with a bid of just over 156 k so no the sanctioning fee's are most likely pretty dismal. I'm sure in the backrooms they would rather have Lucas. I'm sure they know they have a paper champion.

It's not what you know, it's who you know.

I think Peterson is the best fight at 140lbs and the 13th best fighter at 141lbs. It just goes to show you what 1lbs can do
