Originally posted by WBC WBA IBF View PostThat's not how boxing works. There is a big difference between being ranked #1 and being named the mandatory challenger. Reaching the #1 ranking doesn't automatically make you the mandatory.
Upon any such ruling by the WBC, the WBC may remove the boxer’s WBC status and order an alternate challenger or name the boxer’s opponent as mandatory challenger.

Nobody is claiming Whyte won't ever be named mandatory challenger. We're simply pointing out that being ranked #1 doesn't automatically make you the mandatory.
Wilder just fought his mandatory this weekend. He's not going to have to fight another mandatory for a very long time. Nobody in the WBC rankings has won a final eliminator. A final eliminator may not be ordered any time soon. We'll have to see how it plays out.
With Whyte and Breazeale both winning eliminators, they'd likely be the two chosen for a final eliminator.

sometimes you gotta pay to get good opponents. wilder is sucking that haymon money up like a vacuum. he could fight whyte and get 4 million dollars so it makes perfect sense to take that fight. money and a solid fighter win win. what wilder is doing is saying well i tried to fight this good guy but he wouldnt so im just gonna fight bums. thats like ggg saying well i tried to fight pirog but he ducked me so im gonna fight 6 willie monroes in a row. he didnt do that.

You're right that being #1 contender doesn't instantly qualify you as a mandatory challenger, but I was factoring in the Hearn / Matchroom angle and it's likely they are going to push the WBC in that direction for Whyte, which would ultimately be to their own financial advantage. If he's designated as mandatory, Wilder will have 6 months to face him (in normal circumstances but again subject to WBC discretion beyond this point) so it's possible he might take voluntaries in between or he may go ahead and face Whyte with the intention of subsequently securing the AJ bout.

Haymon almost got Breazeale/Molina final eliminator status until Hearn went berserk and the WBC backed off.
