If that happens he can move up to lightweight and take any title he wants to and make a good build for Ward coming up and fighting for his second weight title. Adding Dawson, Cloud or Shumenov on his record will be a decent scalp on his record. Only problem it would cause is it would probably end his want for revenge at Kessler as the fight would lose appeal after Ward beats him even easier this time around.
Julio Cesar Chavez Junior Mikkel Kessler Chad Dawson These are the three that would have me booking flights, tickets and hotels. I think he should avoid Andre Ward at all costs. Also **** fighting Adonis Stephenson just give the belt up if he can get a big fight without it anyway.
Kessler would suffer badly with Ward but at worst go 1-1 with Froch, near to Europe, huge fight, huge venue, huge paycheck, winnable fight for a title which simply makes the Ward fight easier to get equal pay. Froch will always find someone. Bute 2. Ward 2. Kelly Pavlik. Who knows Groves is one fight away (after Johnson) from really being in the mix. DeGale is also one fight away and theres a bit of bad blood there too. The landscape is ever changing and 168 seems to be a divison that has developed and fights can get done. Bute went after Froch. Dawson stepped down to fight Ward. Kessler just needs to get in the real mix again and it'll be all good.
I reckon Froch beats kessler, bute, has a last go at ward in Nottingham and loses again and then retires.
