Similar situation was between GGG and Derevyanchenko. Tom Loeffler has explained well:
“If it’s a mandatory, you need to promote that fight properly, you can’t promote it on three weeks’ notice,”
“I think Derevyanchenko has gotten more publicity over the last week or 10 days than he has ever in his career, just being linked as Triple-G’s mandatory, so if there’s a way to build a fight like that, that makes sense for both sides, that would be the most prudent way to do it, instead of forcing both guys to take extremely short [amounts] on their financial side to rush a fight like this, when a fight can actually be built into another big fight".
GGG was a champion for a long time. That is enough.
In fact I don't care about titles of GGG now. Why should I care when GGG himself doesn't care ? If he wanted only titles he would have fought Derevyanchenko on may 5.
Moreover, earlier when GGG was stripped of the IBF belt I said that GGG should vacate other belts too, because then we can watch interesting fights like Jacobs vs Derevyanchenko. In that case belts won't be taken hostage.
Now if Canelo fights Charlo it will be great for fans. But I doubt. He will vacate. Charlo will beat someone to be the WBC champion. Canelo vs Charlo will be marinated at least 2-3 years to do it a very big money fight just like it was with GGG.
