The number 1 in the rankings is or will be the mandatory.

December 2016 - The number one contender, Jorge Heiland, has requested that he be officially named mandatory challenger for the title currently held by Gennady Golovkin. WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman says the WBC board would like a four-man tournament to determine Golovkin’s mandatory challenger.

The WBC ordered a four-man tournament between the highest available contenders to determine the mandatory challenger.

Immanuwel Aleem defeated Ievgen Khytrov by TKO6 on January 14 and won the silver title.

The WBC ordered Jorge Heiland vs. Jermall Charlo – final elimination to determine the mandatory contender.

That's what I've read - I don't know anything else.

Isn't Charlo the #3 contender for the IBF too? Damn, all the rankings want this dude to carry their belt. Man, I hope Charlo goes after the IBF instead because I want to see him get outboxed and KO'd by Derevyanchenko.

Jermall suddenly got in those rankings without doing nothing notable at 160 lbs. That's not fair!

The ABC rankings over-all are pretty much a joke. A few make sense, but many do not. One example; Wilder is not even ranked in the top 15 in WBO, IBF or WBA.

Organisations don't rank the champions from other organisations.

I think the WBC have tried to give GGG and Kovalev shots at their title before but other than that, you won't find any champions being ranked by other organisations.

Roman Karmazin used to be ranked #1 WBC for more than a year and never received WBC title shot. WBC #1 spot is a joke. Only IBF #1 spot means something

WBO does even worse giving a champion from a lower division a direct shot at a title.

Strange thing to bring up then. It wouldn't make any sense to rank other champions anyway.

Sometimes fighters give up rankings in other bodies when there close to a title shot with one organization. So to keep there rankings with other bodies they have to fight certain the fighters turn it down thus the bodies take them out there rankings. I'm pretty sure Spence was ranked by WBC & WBO but got taken out based on committement to fight for the IBF title.

He wasn't ranked they gave them interim belt because they wanted to get on the unification he wasn't ranked just given an interim belt.
