Maybe the governing bodies need to re-work how they do things and how mandatory shots are given to try and avoid mismatches.
Look at Anthony Yarde now, he's mandatory for Kovalev despite never beating anyone worth a bean. But at the end of the day, he has earned his shot according to the rules, so what can you do?

This is why rankings and mandatorys don't mean anything.
On paper Crolla deserved that shot. In reality he shouldn't have been in the ring.

The rankings are built for convenience for whoever is paying that particular alphabet org off. That's how it is today with too many titles and not enough common sense. Only a nitwit wouldn't be aware of that.
Do you understand you are really trying to act like it's Lomachenko and his teams fault for setting up this fight? As if it wasn't Hearn (who is a competitor to Arum) that wasn't threatening to enforce this mandatory.
Only a nitwit would try to blame Loma for this.
If you want to be mad at somebody, blame the alphabet companies for their rankings. Not the fighters who are forced to take a mandatory.

He beat 3 weight world champ Ricky Burns. Smashed the undefeated Barroso. Beat the excellent Darleys Perez. Had a close fight with Linares the first time.
Crolla is one of the top lightweights in recent times and will be highly regarded long after he retires but Loma is soooo good. He makes these elite fighters like Crolla look like journeymen.
