Welterweight champion status "vacant"?

Very odd guys. I was checking out the current boxing rankings at transnational rakings and this is what I saw:

Rank Name Record - W-L-D (KO) Nationality Last Week
Champion VACANT - - -

What do you guys think about the "champion" status being vacant?

[BOXEO _]

They're leaving it open for the Pac/Floyd winner.

I think it's ******. People know who the champion is.

[Hougigo]

Diego Chaves is on there?

[Larry the boss]

lol that is just dumb..they have him as champ at 154..but not at 147???lol

[Pigeons]

Floyd Mayweather Jr. is the lineal WW champion. Overall, TBRB is very good but they are wrong about welterweight and cruiserweight.

[Larry the boss]

cyber boxing has him lineal at 147..but not at 154..so it is all opinion

Diego Chaves is on there?

Cyberboxingzone has him lineal at 147 and 154, they are just really bad at updating. The same guy from that site does Boxing Scene's rankings (Cliff Rold). He posts in the forum. He's also among the TBRB staff.

I would think Floyd has more claim for Lineal at WW then JRMW, very odd.
