Should bud move down to middleweight and aim for being a six weight world champion? Most the champs in 160 are in their 30s as well, and are easy pickings for bud. Thoughts?
No. He should retire. He's cashed up, has absolutely nothing left to prove and he can take his zero with him.
Yeah I don’t think super middleweight is a good weight for him, 160 or even back down to 154 is better I think. Or retire on a high note is also an idea.
The correct thing Bud should do has already been posted,like a boss beat me too it but Bud should 100% retire with nothing else to prove and walk away with his 0 and his health and enjoy the money he has made for himself in an exemplary career !
Obviously he should. If this win against the best 168'r apparently wasn't a fluke, then he should surely be able to go down to 160 and be champion. What would stop him? Are the 160's too big or not past it or something? He probably should have been there for years pretty clearly as he just beat Canelo. 160 is a prestigious division, he should grab glory there!
Imo mw is perfect for him, he should move to middle and become undisputed and retire. At super middle there is only benavidez and he is imo to big for Crawford, so there is no great opponent left. Just become the mw king and retire
He's earned the right to do what he wants. Retire, try 160, take an easy farewell fight. His legacy as a great is now secure.
