As a fan why would you want to see a fighter fight tomato cans?

Now I respect Broners skills and am a fan of his fan friendly aggression in the ring, but lets be honest. there is absolutely no comp for him at 135. Its a dead division filled with C-B level fighters.
Lets take Danny Garcia for example. He has had just as many pro fights as Broner and has already faced the likes of Amir Khan, the hard hitting Kendall Holt, and is tabbed to face Zab Judah.
I constantly see Broner's fans comparing him to Floyd, yet in Floyd's 25th pro fight, he was facing Diego Corrales and had already faced Genaro Hernadez and Manfredy.
Although Broner makes the weight its obvious he can compete at 140 given the fact that he comes in the ring weighing what Floyd and Pac do for their WW boughts.
So I ask, why do his fans prefer to see him protected rather than see him move up to the talent rich 140lb division?
Really, I kinda see the opposite and find that alot of people are eager to see broner up at 140 and about how if there's no fight with burns than there is no one for broner at 135. I thought that I was one of the few that felt they were rushing broner

why can't you be patient and wait a couple of months to see what he does after he fights the winner of vasquez -burns then bit88 about?
Vasquez, Burns? The only people I see calling for these fights are Broner fans who are against him moving up to 140.

This is stupid. He only just moved up to 135 in November so why the rush? Yes let's see him at 140 but then he still has the Burns/Vasquez winner at 135 so? It's not like he is making 20 odd defences at 135 without moving up to challenge himself, if he fights the Winner of burns/Vasquez that would be 3 belts on the line and isn't that what we fans wanted and complain about boxing not having one guy holding all the belt? Boxing fans must be the most critical fans in sport, we are never content, we whine and cry at everything. IMO he should stay at 135 for one or two more fights then move to 140 after picking up at the available belts at 135 and then do the same at 140 then move up to 147 etc
