154 is probably the best weight for him, I think Eddie said that would be the perfect weight for him when the Golovkin fight was first announced.
Problem is, 154 has a lot of difficult matchups, the Charlos aren't that great but they are huge for the weight like he's huge at 147 plus Andrade, Lara so those are all high risk low reward like Spence. Assuming Canelo beats Smith and vacates he could go for that belt, or if Smith wins that would be a big fight but he'd probably be tied into a rematch clause.
Some might say he's avoiding Spence by leaving 147 but if he is then he definitely won't get it any easier at 154.
