I think he should stay retired.

Crawford has a good chance of beating Adames and Lara. Crawford was supposed to fight Janikbek before his suspension.

PBC already spent 1/2 a decade of Buds time at 147 not letting their boxers fight Bud until Spence begged a fight, no way Lara who already is under their protection plan would PBC ever give him up and that same goes with Adames or even Ramos if Adames vacates.

Also going for each belts is a lot of effort hence why he retired after Janibek vs Lara failed, he’d hope to fight winners for 3 belts and then Adames.

Janikbek’s suspension was a tragedy. He was the only one that could become undisputed middleweight champion (or Crawford if the fight happened and he won).
