What rank is Itagaki??

He was ranked 1st before his fight with Imai.

Since then he has had 5 fights and 5 wins (all by decision)

How is he not the #1 contender even without the KOs.

Ippo had 1 fight between Date and Sendo before he was given challenging rights and his fight wasn’t even in the Japanese rankings! Itagaki should at least be #1/2
