If the contenders worthy. I dont have a problem with it in this circumstance. Broners already number 1 and this would be his second win against a top 5 guy. Plus his earlier victory was against the best LW out there. Broner shouldnt be punished especially since his camp tried to make the Vasquez fight. Abril is a worthy contender and worthy of wearing the belt if he wins.
Nobody knows how true that is.....
I think the rule would have worked if they did top 3 instead of top 5.
Like Salido vs. Garcia is a 1/3 matchup but Chris John babysits the #2 spot and he never going to leave his country.
#2 Vs. #5 is just as bad.

Honestly, imthink the top 4 lightweights are Broner, burns, Vasquez and abril. Broner appears to be the best but he doesn't have the best resume at the weight. The picture is to cloudy among those 4 fighters for me to say any one fight between them should be for the ring.
This. Broner/Abril and Burns/Vasquez, winners fight each other for the Ring title. If it were only this easy.
You are seriously going to put The Ring belt, that many consider to be the Lineage and very similar to it, on the line when #4 fights #5? What a joke.
No it's either:
#1 vs. 2,3,4 or 5
#2 vs. 1,3,4 or 5
I wish I was.....
1. THE RING’s Nos. 1 and 2 contenders fight one another. 2. If the Nos. 1 and 2 contenders chose not to fight one another and either of them fights No. 3, No. 4 or No. 5, the winner may be awarded THE RING belt if the Editorial Board deems the contenders worthy.

300 Belt's per weight class, 700 weigh class's, Super, Silver, Interim belts on top of that.
Seriously, people from "The good old days" are turning in their graves right now.
