They're claiming that Brezeale vs. Molina was a final eliminator last year. I read on Twitter from Michael Benson that he questioned that at the time when he saw it was a final eliminator. He then showed the WBC's reply to him which said that they'd made an error, and the fight was just an eliminator not a final eliminator. But since the WBC like to make it up as they go along, They're now claiming it was a final eliminator. What a joke.
He did very little and did so in a very unimpressive fashion . So ticks all the boxes for a fight with Windmill.
The bigger question is how did B.J. Flores become the WBA's #6-rated heavyweight. Flores is rated higher at heavyweight than Tony Bellew, who wasted Flores in three rounds about a year and a half ago. Flores is rated higher than Dillian Whyte.
Al Haymon makes a call, sends them a nice big wire transfer and then the WBC do what he told them to.
Compared to the other orgs, the WBC actually has the best top 15 rating at heavyweight, for what it's worth.
Because Deontay Wilder's handlers are afraid of the real mandatory, namely Dillian Whyte. WBC does whatever Haymon wants. WBC must stand for We Be Crooks, as James Toney once said.
Because Wilder needed an easy fight after King Kong taxed that ass. Wilder wins by bloodcurdling KO1, outdoing AJ, thereby making Wilder-AJ all the more intriguing.
Each org seems to try and discredit itself at every given opportunity but the WBC doing their utmost to flush their rep for Wilder makes the least sense.
The WBC ratings are the closest to RING magazine than any other org. Seven guys in the WBC top 10 are in the RING's top 10. The only fighters missing from the WBC that are included in RING's ratings are Joshua (who is another' org's champ and therefore isn't rated by the WBC), Parker (who just lost a belt and will likely be in the next ratings) and Baby Miller, who is fighting Duhaupas next and will be in if he wins. Champ: Wilder 1. Whyte 2. Breazeale 3. Ortiz 4. Povetkin 5. Pulev 6. Bellew 7. Duhaupas 8. Martin 9. Kownacki 10. Kabayel 11. Rivas 12. Takam 13. Browne 14. Chisora 15. Stiverne The other orgs are a mess.
