This is a messed up situation now... We have to address what might become the obvious conundrum....
The WBA said it will honor a unification fight before enforcing its mandatory defense on GGG...
So now we have to wonder, will the WBA strip GGG if he refuses to fight Jacobs next (The WBA mando)... Seeing the Canelo vs GGG fight has now become a voluntary for GGG...
Will the WBA allow GGG to fight Canelo next (Big IF) if GBP can agree to terms with GGG ???
I'd like to think so, but we might be swimming into the grey area..
If Canelo is off the board, the WBA said they would honor Title unification fights...
So the only other Title left in the Middleweight division is Saunders WBO belt..
I'd assume that they would wait for a Saunders unification fight, but not a Eubank Jr. fight...
I'd imagine the WBA would allow for GGG to fight a Super Middleweight Title holder, but that's not likely this year...
Will be very interesting to see who TBA will be. WBA will probably be cool with it, when it doubt they can just make another level of belt so it's 4 per divison.
Yeah good thing Danny is waiting 7 months to fight a TBA after his few minutes of work in December lol
Good thing he's "locked in" to it too
#Boxing As I promise will not stand in the way of #GolovkinCanelo. Negotations are still being discussed. Next week will issue WBA position— Gilberto J Mendoza (@GilberticoWBA) May 19, 2016
WBA will wait til next week, giving Jacobs plenty of time to hurry up and announce an opponent.
LOL I don't know what the hell Golovkin does now.

Jacobs already said he is "locked in" to fighting at Barclays July 30th vs TBA

They should, although there was a rumour that Jacobs already has a fight in July. In that case, it will be after July and Golvokin can take a voluntary. BJS said he's ready on twitter. That would be great.
However, if Golovkin vacates WBA in order to take a fight vs. Canelo at whatever weight, I'll be the first one to roast him alive for being a money grabbing b1tch. He BETTER not do that.
I think the WBA said it didn't want to prevent a mega Canelo-GGG fight, not a unification per se. The'll probably only call for Jacobs-GGG negotiations if they know Canelo-GGG talks have broken down for sure.
