that fight vs okane is an ibf eliminator just in case u didn't know. i can see johnson taking a step aside deal for the winner of ggg lemieux to unify with the lee saunders winner.

IBF rules state that a mandatory can be put on hold for a unification fight. Conceivably Golovkin could fight the winner of Lee/Saunders then the winner of Alvarez/Cotto before Johnson.

Personally I think Johnson should have to fight someone legit like N'Dam before he can become a mandatory. But Johnson will probably stay idle waiting for his mandatory shot like Heiland's doing.
