I disagree,he's fairly young and I wouldn't say he was shot,just extremely weight drained when fighting Joel. He will be fuller,meatier,stronger at 147 and how do we know his punch resistance won't have improved? He has the power to KO anyone and although he needs to sty away from someone like Williams,he could fight guys like Margarito,Cotto etc.

Oscar is shrewed,I doubt he would sign someone without weighting up the pros and cons and Diego(I'm guessing) has too many pros?
He's fairly young but the first fight vs Castillo is pretty much as brutal a war as a fighter can be in, and since then he was brutally KOed in his next fight then beaten again against Casa... Not every fighter is much stronger as they move up, and being meatier and fuller isn't always a good thing, at all... Hatton was meatier and fuller against Collazo. Also how is his punch resistance going to improve, the guy has been KOed at lightweight and has never had a great chin, he won't be able to handle welterweight power at all imo.
