He should stick where he is; even if he can carry his speed up with him he won't survive higher weight classes. He has VERY low durability and little power. His speed, size and reach advantages work great for him at low catagories but the more he loses those, the harder things will get for him.
Can you really see him in there with somone like Mundine?
With Ariza and Roach, I would bet his speed and power carry up to at least WW. Ariza did a beautiful job with Pacquiao so far.
He will almost certainly carry up his speed, but I don't think he has enough power to keep anyone with a decent enough chin off him. At middleweight he would be in deeeeeeeep waters, for the msot part he'd be giving up all his advantages, other than his speed.
Maybe in the future but i would stay at 140 and clear that out first before we start talking about moving up to the most competative division in the sport.
