Orgs don't usually rank champs from other orgs. Sometimes they'll do it in special cases. Like GGG-Rubio and Kovalev-Stevenson.

that isn't what happened. GGG and kovalev won WBC titles (interim & diamond) from existing champions. the orgs don't rank champs from other orgs but will sometimes allow another champ to unify with the interim champ to become the mandatory.

The WBO has paved the way for Canelo Alvarez to finally make his debut as a full-fledged middleweight in his next fight. According to a reported posted by espn.com's Dan Rafael on Wednesday night, the Puerto Rico-based sanctioning organization has installed Alvarez as the mandatory middleweight challenger for its 160-pound champion, Billy Joe Saunders. The Mexican superstar still is considering facing countryman Julio Cesar Jr. at a catch weight in his next bout, but could choose to fight for Saunders' WBO middleweight title.

In the best interest of boxing? More like the best interest of your wallets,you dirty bastards. Khurtsidze's team better take some kind of legal action,because its pretty ****ed up that a boxer can earn his shot fair and square,but some diva with a name comes along,and is handed that fighters ranking along with the title shot.

I saw this coming when the WBO prez was courting Canelo big time after the Smith win. The writing was on the wall then.
