Originally posted by MasterPlan View PostWith Triple G getting stripped of his IBF Golf, Sergiy is now in the drivers seat. But looking at the ranking there is no number 2 ranked fighter. However 3-5 are all ranked as the following:
3 Jermall Charlo (who is WBC #1 ranked)
4 Daniel Jacobs (who is WBA #1 ranked)
5 Demetrius Andrade (who is WBO #1 ranked)
So, how does this work. Does Sergiy have to go to 6 ranked Tommy Langford since the other guys are ranked number one in other orgs?
I'll tell you a secret.
Its for Golovkin

If he passes, it goes to the next challenger (Tommy Langford, #6, just loss his British title in May, so I'm fairly certain that his rating is set to drop).
Unless the order gets changed drastically, I'm fairly certain that we're going to see Derevyanchenko vs Martin Murray (#7, was to challenge Saunders for the WBO belt) as the fight for the IBF belt, set to co-feature on the next big event that heads to Barclays Center (the Garcia-Porter card, unless it ends up in Philadelphia, being eyed for August/September).
