IBF looks like a joke compared to other ABC's the way they rank. There was no big danger for Charlo as far as mandatories. No Andrade, no Lara, etc.

1. NOT RATED
2. Tony Harrison
3. Jarrett Hurd
4. Cedric Vitu
5. Marcelo Matano
6. Yutaka Oishi
7. Yuki Nonaka
8. Orlando Fiordiglio

#9 was Julian Williams. I guess not seeing any of the top 8 fight before, I shouldn't pick on the IBF, but one would think they would have Andrade or Lara at least in the top 10....or 15.

Lara is WBA champ. The top 4 orgs don't rank other top 4 orgs world champions.

Andrade, why not. But he's ranked highly with the WBA, seems to be going down that route/

Oishi above Nonaka...what a crock of shit

I look forward to seeing what he can do at 160

Harrison vs Jarrett Hurd for the Vacant title should be fun. I favor Harrison slightly.

Hurd/Harrison is an excellent fight. Surprised you've never seen them. I'm unaware of the other 6 too.

4-8 sound like bums.
