Manny and Canelo are fighting guys much bigger than they are. Bud isn't. Hes not small for 147. He looks right at home.Everyone wanted him to move up because he had EVERY title at 140, there was no one left. That happens in every weight class.
Loma is at 135 but everyone knows that 126 or 130 is his natural weight class. So what happens if he unifies all the titles there? Should he just quit because everyone knows he’s topped out at 135?
Then what’s Mannys weight class? 135? He started at 112 right? You don’t get to ignore everything they’ve done before.
What is Canelo’s? 160? 168? 175?
Hell, Crawford will campaign at 154 before too long if he cant make deals with PBC fighters.
Going to 154 without fighting a live body or name at 147 is not a plus. In fact it will make me look at him as even less of a P4P. Same way I would look at Canelo if he doesn't fight the best at 168.
We just look at it differently.
