Good news and bad among the big men

If this is true it's one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard. It certainly HELPS boxing (and especially Klitschko) because it will allow us a better chance of a true unification, but what a load of **** that they make a guy who has been inactive for a year and very clearly lost his last fight just come back and be the #1 mandatory. It's shameful. It just goes to show that there are no real rules.

Can anyone verify that this is true?

 

What ststus? Wlad isnt lineal champ either, he is just another paper champion at this point.

 

Yes, that's true, but he's ranked #1 (not champ, of course) in the eyes of most objective observers and all or nearly all unbiased magazines/websites (e.g.-The Ring, ESPN, etc...) As long as he keeps winning, I don't see how the Sultan/Chagaev winner displaces him.
