If alvarez gave up his wbc tittle, why fight for the ibf title?

[ruedboy]

When Alvarez became "Franchise Champion", he gave up his World Champ title to Charlo, Which meant he wasn't interested in unifying at MW.
Now he's fighting Deveryanchenko for the IBF title. How does that make sense?

He's choosing the easiest champion. The canelo path.

Charlo is a bigger challenge than Derevyanchenko.

The reason you fight you're mandatory is so you don't get stripped.
When the WBC made Alvarez Franchise Champ, they stripped him of the World Title.
Why should he care if the IBF strips him too?

So GGG was on the "CANELO PATH"

Charlo's World Champ, Alvarez is Franchise Champ, which is an honorary title.
