Ring ratings are biased. I disagree with them. But the same is true of all ratings by anyone. Including mine.
Whereas the WBC is corrupt and chases popularity (badly).
The tide is starting to turn. Ngannou's elevation just can't be defended on any boxing basis.
Personally I thought the 'Franchise' debacle should have been the point at which the WBC lost any remaining credibility. They basically reached a point where the Undisputed lightweight champion didn't need to hold the WBC's belt as they couldn't decide who their champion was.
I'm surprised it's taken this long but hopefully it's the beginning of the end.
