Kessler techinically doesn't count though, I don't think it does anyway. But Kessler wasn't a defining win, but a really really good win. Froch was Ward's first defining fight. Everyone wanted to see that fight, and it was #1 vs. #2 in the division. It was a huge fight.
It all depends on how Ward goes about it.
There's tons of fights there for Andre from 168-200 in the next decade.
Lucian Bute, Adonis Stevenson, Anthony Dirrell, Andre Dirrell, Edwin Rodriguez, James DeGale, George Groves, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, Chad Dawson, Nathan Cleverly, Ismayl Sillakh, Lateef Kayode, Yoan Pablo Hernandez, Denis Lebedev, etc.
Plenty of great fights there, assumming most of those fighters turn out to be as good as they can be.
