Selby did great and you have him in the right place.

Where is Froch from you supermiddle list, Ward has been more inactive?

Froch has been inactive for over a year. A Champion previously had 18 months to schedule a fight. Ward scheduled his bout with Smith before the 16th of May.

The inactivity clause was recently amended, a ranked fighter has 12 months to schedule a fight under their division limit, a Champion has 15 months to schedule a fight under their division limit.

Thanks again as always @Master I really appreciate the support and feedback.

That is harsh on Froch when Ward has not fought even a longer time.

It may seem a little harsh, but the Policy rules need to be consistent. A ranked fighter needs to schedule a fight under their weight division limit within 12 months, a Champion now has 15 months (previously 18 months, amended 20th May 2015) to schedule a fight under their weight division limit.

It's harsh on a guy like Viktor Postol, who although active with 12 months had not scheduled a bout under the 140 limit within a year, so was removed.

But hey if Froch decides to continue fighting and decides to take on Golovkin or DeGale, then a victory would more than likely secure him the top spot.

Miguel Cotto defended his Championship for the first time.
