There really isn't any more superfights for him at 168. Froch is unlikely to improve beyond their last meeting. Kessler is faded despite his impressive KO last fight. Obviously a Bute fight has no meaning any more. The only real superfights for him would be at 175 against Pascal, Cleverly and maybe a rematch with Dawson. 2 weight championships on his resume would look good for his HOF application.
I think he should rematch Kessler. He should then fight Dirrell. Rematch Froch. Bute has a question mark. If Bute makes a huge comeback and wins a couple of big fights. Then fight him. Then move up and clean house at light heavy. He beats Pascal, Dawson, Cleverly, and the rest with ease.
guys like chris john can defend 1 belt 20 times in a row and are considered legends. he doesnt unify nor does he move up in weight. so wtf is this a concern for ward every day? amazing
He's stated that he will stay at SMW for another year or 2. Also, his next fight will probably be against a "not so high a profile" opponent. Interview with his trainer on front page.
He should move up to LHW as soon as possible I could seriously imagine him winning a CW title if he does everything right. CW isn't the strongest division but winning titles in 3 weight divisions would be huge the only problem is that noone in the US cares about CW and that he would probably make less money for a fight in this division
