2x...and defending
I agree that I think Charlo will the once over by the WBC because they want GGG-Canelo. Also, believe I read an article that said when a title holder has a belt the mandatories are enforced in a rotating basis, and I think the IBF mandatory has precedence over the WBC mandatory.Given the option I'd take GGG vs Charlo over a Canelo rematch being GGG to me beat Canelo already. But with how Boxing's politics are these days, even Jermall knows that fight isn't realistic "yet". If Jermall was in GGG's shoes I'd be hard pressed to believe he wouldn't be trying to land that Canelo fight himself. The irony though is at 36-37 years old GGG is the likelier one to fight Charlo first than Canelo who's the younger guy. Jermall's problem is PBC / Showtime is a ghost town at 160 if we go by "In House" fighting (which still seems to be more of the norm). I'd like to see Jermall against Jacobs, Andrade, BJS but what's really the likelyhood of those happening either?
That is why I have been saying I think Charlo is out of luck for a bit, not because GGG is scared of him. For GGG to fight Canelo, they have to pay a step aside to Derevyanchenko and the IBF. Then I think the IBF would be next after the Canelo fight, then Charlo would be the mandatory.
If GGG doesn't fight Canelo, he would need to fight the IBF mandatory. That confuses things because say he fights Derevyanchenko instead of Canelo, they may try to make GGG-Canelo in May, which I would assume the WBC would let GGG bypass Charlo for the money fight with Canelo.
Not taking sides or trying to provide an opinion in those statements like some may think...that is to my knowledge of what I read how the governing body situations would work in those situations, love it or hate it. That is why I add my opinion that Charlo will have to look at one if the other top 160 lb fighters if he wants a quality opponent, because I think he gets iced out of a GGG fight for quite a while based on organizational politics.
