So he had 2 belts and he was looking towards a huge unification. He was never going to move out of the MW division at that point, and especially not up to 172 which was crazy. Also, Carl's trainer - Robert McCracken, thought that Carl could in fact make 168, if he started to live the life again.
Basically, Carl's just missing the limelight and he wants to still be relevant.
