VERY OPTIMISTIC

Still quite funny though, their lightheavy list is shot to pieces.

And is it me or are the SN fighters rated a little too high.

wow, Audley's mandatory is Vitali!

That means Audley must fight Vitali by a certain date or be stripped of his title...

Is it possible that the WBF president makes some pathetic attempt at enforcing this fight (and get laughed out of the building) or do they just let their 'ratings' sit there and stagnate while they pluck Reggie Strickland and Ed white types out of the woodwork to contest their shitty title.

They have a champion, then put the top ten contenders there, and completely ignore them, whilst anybody who'll agree to fight for the title turns up.

Makes you wonder why they bother having rankings really.

Still, Roy Jones Jr. held a WBF title.......
