He was just successor to those old relics. Wlad should have had that WBA belt anyway, since beating Chagaev, but the WBA have some funny rules.

yes jmm unified with Braithwaite and bell. Hate knocked him out and further unified with enzo. He was wholly unified.
He was quite clearly the standout challenger to wlad as anyone following the sport could tell you.
