What if the IBF stripped GGG. Would that lead Canelo into winning a vacant title via tune-up bout in sept?
He could possibly beat Martin Murray, Arthur Abraham or Daniel Geale and put himself back in A side position for next years cinco de mayo by claiming himself to be bringing a belt into a middleweight unification bout.
You seem to know the Sanctioning bodies Rules
Couple quick questions , just want to get your
Opinion on what you think will happen
Sure thing. Always happy to help.
1) Will the IBF end up striping Golovkin
Seems inevitable. Even if they approve his exception (which I think is possible because if you reject took many exceptions, people will stop filing them and the IBF needs the money that comes from people filing for exceptions), GGG would just get stripped a fight later if he fights Canelo instead of his IBF mandatory. Even a Saunders unification wouldn't save him because the IBF won't approve two exceptions in a row.
You'll see a lot of people, including respected journalists, mentioning working out a step aside deal with Dibella, but clearly those people don't realize the IBF doesn't allow step aside deals. That is not an option.
2) if they do , will the belt go sorry to Devechenko or looking at the rankings you posted would Derevyanchenko be ordered to fight Jacobs and what would happen then because they share the same trainer
He would have to fight for the vacant title. They won't just award it to him. The IBF would go through their ratings, in order, until somebody says yes to the fight. So it could be #3 getting the title shot or it could be #10. Just depends on how many guys turn down the fight.

Canelo is the A side regardless of a belt.
People act like this A side thing is more complicated then it is. If you got as many PPV buys as Canelo you're the A side over a guy with as many PPV buys as GGG.
This is the unfortunate reality.
The IBF's belt is irrelevant to the A-side equation at this point.
Wouldn't Charlo get the shot?
I'm not sure he has the ante to enter that table. Charlo is the new guy in the game but he likely won't get to the main table til the old players are gone. Once GGG unifies with BJS and cashes in on Canelo he might walk away and allow the titles to spread out. Charlo will likely then pick up a vacant.
Nobody is going to strip GGG. Dont believe in DiBellas menstruation ramblings. GGG is the boss even though the american press and media tries hard to manipulate people otherwise. He is even far more popular than Canelo worldwide. Thats a fact. Canelo's legacy is tarnished forever. He wont have many legitimate fans left. Most Mexicans already support Canelo. Nobody in Europe or Asia cares about Canelo whatsoever.
