The article uses Boxrec's rankings as a starting point. Therefore the article should automatically be discluded from any further conversation.

I am not saying Sartison has a great resume. Hell, I've never even seen Sartison fight. But Gusmyl Perdomo was a WBA-ranked fighter when Sartison beat him (and Perdomo is still ranked #5 by the WBA), and Sartison's last opponent has been in a recent (WBA) titlefight with Mundine as well.

In other words Sartison may not have done anything to earn his rankings, but he isnt exactly put up there only by Palle-money either. In fact, from the look of it, Sartison's manager has been pretty good at kissing WBA's arse even before Palle/Kessler entered into the picture.
