Agree and when a catchweight happens for this reason as a fan you almost feel violated. I've always liked the Peterson brothers but he defines paper champion based solely on the Lucas fight.

As to the steroids well he tested under the allowable limit by the IBF and others for injury rehab and had documentation for the injury and regiment. Not his fault a couple of half wits from his camp neglected to inform those who should have been.

But that's all academic. Like I said he's a paper champ.
