The World Boxing Council lists all its champions whenever a fight comes around. When the recent super-welterweight title clash happened, it was no different.
Jermell Charlo became the undisputed ruler in the 154 weight class. He could feature in the next update in 2022.
If he does, though, it would be at the expense of Manny Pacquiao.
Pacquiao is currently rated at number ten on the all-time list, meaning his place is in jeopardy at the higher of his preferred divisions.
Floyd Mayweather is number one, followed by Oscar De La Hoya. Winky Wright, Shane Mosley, and Sergio Martinez also feature.
Mayweather being the best WBC champion ever at 154 signifies his massive achievements, especially as most of his best work came in the divisions below.
Rival Pacquiao accomplished more with other organizations, leaving him further down the ranks.
