The only reason he should stick around 154 is if his punch resistance has somehow improved with the weight, or if he just can't make 147 anymore. Other than that he has everything going for him at 147, speed (i was really impressed with his speed vs pac), net power (theoretically he should be stronger at 154, but opponents are also more resilient) and choice of opponents (Berto, May, Pac and the 140 pounders who will eventually move up).
Granted, Canelo and Chavez could be big money fights.
of course he should, against pacman that was his best physical condition and even cotto said that. why they moved him up to 154 is beyond me, what they should have done is got a fight with berto, try to beat him at 147, then rematch margo at 150 catchweight
I was never a big fan of him moving up to 154, he is just too short for that division, but honestly besides berto who is there for him to fight at 147?
Kahn/Cotto is something I would love to see at 147. People say who is there at 147. I'm pretty sure Bradley would jump back up from 140 straight away to fight him.
