Ward should move up to LHW if he beats Pavlik

Ward has no need to rematch Froch or Kessler, he beat both convincingly. The only reason he might is if one beats the other in a dominant fashion ... but even then he'd only give them a fight because people would go on about it if he didn't, rather than because he needs to. Beat Pavlik, fight the winner of F-K to shut people up, and then move up. At that point, he'll've done all there is to be done at 168.

 

His only shot at a potential big payday is Chavez JR and Martinez. Absolutely nothing in terms of money at 175...Hell, he'd be the draw. I'd just cut down to 168 as long as I can and wait on JR to establish himself(maybe fight Froch?) or go down and fight Martinez. The only thing waiting for him 175 is another division title.
