That's how the rankings work buddy. If you're not currently ranked and you apply they rank you accordingly, why should Ortiz not be benefited a lofty ranking ? After his doping charge he's paid his dues with hard work and an ethic which has brought him victories over Jennings (never previously stopped), Thompson (never been stopped by anyone not named Wladimir Klitschko) and who else ? He's been on a tear, his ranking should reflect that regardless of whether concerned fan boys are worried the guy who ain't fought a single mandatory in 26 months upon picking up his belt when he had an immediate mandatory owing !
Expect Wilder to line up another optional defence before the Ortiz vs Stiverne winner is mandated thus delaying the process even further and allowing one more lucrative defence in Alabama. Dude likes squeezing in those million dollar paydays against absolutely dire opposition.
Maybe an Ortiz victory will in turn force Wilder's hand to unify in his desperate attempts to avoid fighting his first ever mandatory, dude must be close to holding the record for most time passed for never facing a mandatory, I know Adonis Stevenson holds the the most recent record though, in fact as that guy ever fought a mandatory too ?
