When Jacobs was ranked they could of ordered Jacobs vs Charlo or. Charlo vs Andrade. Instead they order. Centeno and heiland. https://www.*******.com/rankings/. I think Murray was put in #2 wbc recently as a feeding and sacrifice to the young powerful lion to keep him busy time canelo and ggg settle there fight .http://wbcboxing.com/wbceng/ratings?layout=edit&id=145
I don't know about that. But what I want to know is, how can there be this many good fighters at 160 who haven't even fought one another to GET rankings above the others? Props to Jacobs and Sergiy for getting it on. But Jermall Charlo, as talented as he is, should have a top 5 guy he's fought. It's ridiculous how the ABC allow for rankings like this to occur. But we all know...$$ makes the rules.
Because its in the rules Everyone who follows boxing closely knows that a sanctioning body's champion (in this case the WBC) in a division can with approval [of the WBC] be designated mandatory challenger when he moves to another division. http://wbcboxing.com/wbceng/Rules/WBCRulesandRegulationsJanuary2014.pdf
I don't think he's being protected but he is being "manouvered" without facing a true live body at 160 thus far.
It was a rhetorical question, not a "I don't know the process" question. Appreciate the look up though.
So you're just crying for the sake of crying. It's always been that way Lance. A champion will usually be approved as the mandatory challenger if he moves to another division.
