The IBF ordered Canelo to fight Deveryanchenko, but Canelo hasn't responded. The IBF may order Golovkin-Deveryanchenko now.
Golovkin won't fight Derevyanchenko either. Even if he loses his position in the IBF rankings by doing that.
When we were thinking GGG was avoiding Sergiy, he still had the aura of a tough, hungry and uber skilled tiger. So it was plausible. Since seeing him get outboxed and pushed around by Jacobs and then almost whacked out by that Culcay guy who I thought earned the decision, I think nobody is thinking Canelo has much to fear from him. Derevyanchenko's stock is selling at about half of what it did this time last year. Disappointment to be sure.
