    I imagine Bryan will have to fight the Charr/Oquendo winner before being mandated for Joshua......

    Whilst Pulev/Hughie will be mandated straight away.

    Most likely they got Guillermo Jones mixed up with Luis Ortiz.

    These rankings can only be the result of incompetence,corruption or both.

    It couldn't be the former. You could put 50 top heavyweight names into a hat and sprinkle them on a board and you'd not get anything so ridiculous.

    When I see rubbish like this I wonder why fans are so quick to defend the established sanctioning bodies. Everyone looks down on the IBO and I understand yet another belt is not fixing the existing problems. Still, here's IBO's computerised rankings. Joshua and Wilder are listed as respective champions then:

    1 2 Alexander Povetkin RU 38 WBA Inter-Continental 3/31/18 34-1 24 0
    2 3 Tony Bellew UK 35 5/5/18 30-2-1 20 1
    3 1 Tyson Fury UK 29 6/9/18 26-0 19 0
    4 6 Dillian Whyte UK 30 WBC International 7/28/18 24-1 17 1
    5 4 Jarrell Miller US 30 4/28/18 21-0-1 18 0
    6 5 Luis Ortiz CU 39 7/28/18 29-1 25 1
    7 8 Dominic Breazeale US 32 11/4/17 19-1 17 1
    8 7 Joseph Parker NZ 26 7/28/18 24-2 18 0
    9 19 Dereck Chisora UK 34 WBA International 7/28/18 29-8 21 2
    10 9 Adam Kownacki

    Compare and contrast...

    When looking at crazy rankings, always look at the promoters behind them to see who has their dirty hands in the pie.

    Bryan - Don King
    Jones - Don King
    Flores - Don King options
    Stiverne - Don King
    Lovejoy - Mayweather

    Corrupt promoters pretty much own the corrupt sanctioning bodies.

    Honestly, as terrible as it is, its no worse than the wbo. As bad as WBC is in other ways, they actually have by far the best hw rankings
