Khan Champion again

[Beanz]

What little credibility any sanctioning body has is not going to be improved by ignoring facts. To claim that Peterson gained no competitive advantage by taking PED's and so the belt should not be awarded to the previous owner, despite them being clean is frankly ridiculous. He cheated and even if you think he gained no physical advantage, he deceived everybody. Khan virtually bent over backwards to make sure he could not be accused of trying to secure an unfair advantage and yet people still would deny him any credit. Give the guy a break if you seriously have no axe to grind.

Honestly, this is the reason I am not as active in the boxing scene anymore... too much politics involved in the game. I already knew when GBP & the Khan camp protested after their loss that they were going to find a way to reinstate him as champ. This is the same BS they pulled on James Toney after he won the HW title (he was taking meds to heal two torn biceps from his previous fight, then went into training for Ruiz).

Khan or anyone should have to earn the title in the ring... simple and plain. He did not beat Peterson, and unless the decision is going to be overturned it simply does not make any sense, except to say that the WBA now gets to collect sanctioning fees from both fighters!

Am I the only one who notices that ONLY GBP and TOP RANK fighters are able to have decisions reversed and titles reinstated - without having to fight at all? Over the past few years, can you name anyone else who got a really bad decision and had it overturned?
