At the end of the day Canelo knew he had to take the GGG fight and try to win back his culture and dignity.
Plus it was his biggest fight and easiest opponent since he already fought the man. Why risk tough fights against guys like Jacobs and make less money? Why fight Spike for less money and get no props for it and still be shytted on by fans...May as well rematch the guy who has a win over Jacobs. nikka tried to flex that A side shyt and still had to do whatever it took to make the find, regardless of what they put out in the media.
As far as the IBF belt, its whatever. GGG after the bag now. Boxers say stupid shyt and contradict themselves all the time. That will never change. The fights are what really matter to me. nikkas can say what they want. Yeah GGG started out trying to collect all the belts like Infinity Stones, but nikkas evolve and missions change.
Im not gonna lose sleep over it. Besides....
The belt don't make the fighter, the fighter makes the belt.
GGG at a point in his career where his status as the guy to beat at 160 is more important than the belt itself.
Randomchenko while a solid young fighter, is a fukking nobody. I always felt like he needed another fight or two against some name contenders to build his rep up. Too bad the Andrade fight didn't happen. GGG can't fight everybody so nikkas gonna have to do their best to stand out. BJS and Charlo are definitely bigger fights than Derevy so if they would have happened instead of Canelo, I still would have been content. I wouldn't mind seeing GGG vs Derevy later down the road, but truthfully, theres just bigger fish to fry right now.
