to get a mandatory position you dont have to beat contenders. arreola beat 7jm & he's #1 in WBC. so rahman was # 3 in WBA after beating 5 cans. rankings are also determined by regional belts & activity. chagaev & povetkin were ranked ahead of him then those 2 fought for the #1 spot(regular title)leaving rahman as the next ranked contender. i'm so surprised that so many here do not understand this. rahman is also a 2 time world champion which will always help him in the rankings. remember that povetkin is NOT a world champion & really is just the #1 contender to wlad & rahman is the #2. this so called title fight is like an eliminator...
