And just like that, Wards 2013 calender can be filled.

See I think he should stay at 168 as well because there really isn't much at 175. I think if he sticks around guys like Oosthuizen or Groves might be able to gather enough momentum to be viable challengers.

at least they can avoid hometown decision unlike in Washington, DC

Bob Arum isn't going to give up that kind of name recognition to someone he isn't making money off of. Pavlik he might cash out, though he could just pair him and JCC Jr. in a crossroads before helping Andre Ward out.

Seems like the worst possible fight for Pavlik. Ward would pitch a complete shutout. I'm guessing it might be one of the better checks Pavlik could possibly collect right now though.

would it be asking too much for KP to beat a top 15 168 pound guy before stepping into the ring with the #1 guy?

I had a thread a while ago that this fight might happen just cuz of the people already signed to fights.
