If you're all that Jacobs, and you and you're team understand anything about how Canelo and GBP operate, you will need to claim Andrade's WBO belt (if you can) because whoever can carry those last two pieces of the undisputed puzzle will have considerable bargaining power.
Come in with just the one belt, and Canelo will almost surely 'marinate' you while he pursues greener pastures.
The only way to bring this prima donna and his team to the MW table is to present with the remaining belts ie: on equal terms. It gives thee the right to say Canelo is not the top dog at MW because he has only fought twice for big paydays against GGG in what were undoubtedly dubious decisions. If Andrade or Jacobs present with two belts, then they can claim to be the better Mw by virtue of fighting more Mw's and the more meaningful fights, mock Canyello for his ridiculous 168-pound fight against a secondary WBA belt holder when he has plenty of opportunities at Mw.
If we go back, Canelo has a pattern of dodging the 160's. He fought Cotto at 155, then Smith at 154, then Khan at 154, then JCCjr at 164, two fights with GGG which in reality he lost the first fight (closely) then tested positive for Clenbuterol, a slap on the wrist, then he's in the ring again with GGG for what I saw was a strong case for a draw or narrow Golovkin win- leaving the man obviously distressed and disappointed as we have not heard anything from Golovkin since that night, while Canelo continues to yo-yo around the divisions as if it's his private theme park with no respect for those at 160 who have earnt the right to a shot.
I conclude the guy is a talented fighter, but an absolute prik.
