What is up with the IBF and Germany ? Why are the mandatories for German based boxers ? Just a coincidence?
Wow, it holds true for the 5 heaviest weight classes if we include Scull (Cuban who fights in Germany) and Etinosa Oliha (Italian who fights in Germany). The German streak is sort of kept in tact at 154 too, Abass Baraou is the number 1 contender for the WBA.
If both of y'all's information checks out, that's a really good catch. Ever notice how Don King's heavyweight fighters get ranked by the WBA...#3 Michael Hunter, #10 Cassius Chaney and, until recently, Jonathan Guidry. I think maybe only Hunter is ranked in the top 15 elsewhere...maybe.

I feel like the IBF ranks whoever is left over from the WBC, WBA, and WBO. What I mean is WBC typically ranks Hispanics and fighters with GBP, WBO is pursued by Top Rank and Queensbury fighters, and WBA is in bed mainly with PBC, so IBF gets what's whoever's left.
