Comments Thread For: Golovkin-Jacobs: WBA President Gives His Take on The Situation

He became the mandatory only after Tureano Johnson got injured.

What's REALLY sad is Wade wasn't even ranked #2!!! A TRUE NOBODY was ranked higher than him...

IBF Rankings at the time

#1 Johnson
#2 VACANT
#3 Wade

And Mando should START and STOP at #1. If they can't fight or injured. Wait until they heal or have the #2 and #3 fight for the #1 spot. Don't F'N go down the line just for a quick $$$$ grab!

How do you make a guy with the limited number of fights that Dominic Wade had, the mandatory? That's crazy! I think the WBC should've made the #2 and #3 Welterweights fight as soon as they found out that Khan was having surgery!

TJ got injured, Wade stepped up. The fight happen, i am not sure why are you guys complaining ? Would you rather have him not fight at all ??? F dat he is breaking that b hop record you just watch. And mfers like jacobs and canelo keep hiding under their promoters skirts!!!

thats because the IBF doesnt just "appoint" people to the #1 and #2 slots. You actually have to fight someone else in the top 10 in order to get a #1 or #2 ranking.

I hear ya but but getting a borderline robbery against Sam Soliman Ain't doing deserving of getting a #1/#2 ranking.. At the time I could of EASILY named 10-12 better MW's than him. Heck he dropped from #3 to #15 just for losing to GGG???

Calm down! No one's talking sht about GGG or who he fought. We're just talking about how ****** These organizations are with their ranking system.

I understand, its not a perfect system. But I prefer it to the alternative where the corrupt head of the organization simply says "ok THIS guy is the #1 mandatory"......

So what your saying is THE IBF "Don't F Around! They don't come to play in this Sport" "They don't fear anyone"???

The WBA is just as bad! They currently have Alfonso Blanco Ranked #1. He's 12-0 with 5 KO's. He got that ranking for beating 30-11-3 draws Siarhei Khanmitski???? Ohhh who is now 31-13-3. Lol

They're ALL corrupt and TERRIBLE. One of them had a dead guy ranked for months a while back.
