    Top 15:

    Champ SERGIO MARTINEZ ARG
    Interim
    1 Dmitry Pirog (Asia-Pacific) RUS
    2 Daniel Jacobs (NABO) USA
    3 Gennady Golovkin KAZ
    4 Gennady Martirosyan (WBO Europe) ARM
    5 Fernando Guerrero (NABO Int.) DR
    6 Maksym Bursak (Int-Cont) UKR
    7 Hassan N'Dam N'Jikam CAM
    8 Anthony Mundine AUST
    9 Mathew Macklin GB
    10 Avtandil Khurtsidze GEO
    11 Khoren Gevor GER
    12 Lajuan Simon USA
    13 Daniel Geale AUST
    14 John Duddy IRE
    15 Roman Karmazin RUS

    I can see Pirog taking the fight against any of them in the top 15. Would Danny Jacobs take the fight at this point in time? Golovokin is fighting for the regular WBA title so he's out. I can see the Russian Pirog taking on the Russian based Martirosyan for the vacant title in Russia if Jacobs is offered the fight & declines

    i think he has 10 days to appeal. which sounds suspiciously like, make up your mind in ten days or its permanent.

    doesnt really matter is he holds the Ring and WBC.

    You cant slate the WBO for sticking to there rules. Its fair enough. I personally dont like champions in multiple divisions either.

    That's good. He should move back down to 154.

    Does this mean he's planning to go after the Williams or the winner of Cotto/Foreman next?

    Well the winner of Cotto-Foreman is tied up with winner of Duddy/Chavez supposedly.

    I think if Foreman wins, Pacquiao will be linked to him.

    Might not be much room for Martinez at 154 off the bat.

    Pirog v Jacobs for the WBO
    and
    N'Dam N'Jikam v Golovkin for the WBA

    sounds good, feel bad for Sergio though, Pavlik held onto that belt for years off the back of a couple of weak defences

    You can understand why they did it, they have to follow their own rules. Martinez may well vacate the others anyway.
