If the fight went on between Canelo and GGG the winner would have had to face Derv. The IBF gave GGG an exemption to fight Canelo as GGG hadn't made a mandatory since 2016. The fight didn't happen and GGG had to face his mandatory next but asked for an exemption to fight Vanes. In order to get that exemption to fight Vanes, GGG had to agree to fight Derv next within 90 days. GGG chose to Vanes and take a money fight against Canelo, IBF followed their rules.The thing people haven't talked about much is that Canelo had part in costing GGG his title. If that fight went on May 5, as scheduled, the IBF belt would have been on the line so one of them would have it now.
Anyway, wonder if the IBF will require an automatic mandatory, especially since I expect the winner of GGG vs Canelo to take on Saunders. If so, according to the IBF rankings, the winner will have to fight Andrade (if he agrees, which I don't know why he wouldn't) so possibly more good fights ahead.Comment

Charlo blew an opportunity I think. Look forward to this fight though.
Is Charlo really going to sit around hoping for the Golovkin fight?Comment
