Charlo is basically just a little late to the party and will have to wait in line.
Canelo is already going down the tracks of either Lemieux, Saunders or JCC Junior next, then on to GGG. Once that's played out, Charlo willbe close to the front of the line.
Meantime no harm in him going to 160 as he states he intends to do and settling into the weight with a fight against some other 160 lber before taking on the top guy. Its the smart thing to do - its what Ward did at 175 and its what Canelo is doing at 160.
There is no guarantee he carries to 160 yet. eg Abraham was a beast at 160, so much so that some had him favoured to win the super-6 based on his dominance at 160. Then look what happened ! Ditto Donaire owned 122 but was a kitten at 126 - doesn't always carry.
