I already explained why it would happen. Garcia is gonna vacate the title...he's not fighting Viktor Postol, which means Viktor Postol and Lucas Matthysse will be scheduled to fight for the WBC Junior Welterweight Championship.
AB is ranked #3, Dulorme is #4 but TR so he's not relevant to AB, but Soto is ranked #5 and available. AB fights Soto, will beat him, and immediately moves up to #1 by the WBC and mandatory challenger to the winner of Matthysse/Postol.
Im not HAPPY about the fight, but it makes sense, because it's the closest we can get to a fight for the belt.
Algieri is fighting in November, so he's not an option...plus he's TR. Peterson is big bro...not an option.
Danny Garcia will have to vacate the WBA belt as well, but Mauricio Herrera immediately becomes the Champion and Thomas Dulorme becomes the mandatory for that one. Soto is the best route to take at this point
Matthysse is gonna fight Viktor Postol once Garcia lets that WBC belt go.
Beating an old Zab Judah aint gonna get AB a title shot. Beating Soto will.
Broner is next in line for a title shot Soto or not...he could fight Salkas retarded step brother next N still would be next in line
I'm surprised Haymon N GBP don't already have the nikka ranked #2
