Default 44 - good time for a squeeze?

Final table of a 22+4$ MTT at Full Tilt.
Overall a fairly aggressive final table, quite a bit of raising and a few reraises every now and then.

Button har stolen quite a few times, he definitely doesnīt need a hand to raise here.

SB has been aggressive towards my blind and is doing his share of stealing. However, he has not called very many raises which makes me believe he needs some kind of hand here.

I pick up 44 in the BB and go into the tank. I am the small stack, and if I take this pot down w/o showdown I will be VERY happy. However, the pot will be around 115k if I push and only 47k more to call for villains, which they might be tempted to do. However, I do believe I have SOME fold equity, people have shown a lack of willingness to call reraises or pushes at the table, ie reluctance to gamble for lots of chips. If they call and lose, they will obviously be in bad shape.

So - fold or push? Calling canīt be right, or anyone like a stop and go against 2 villains?
