    Do better challenges lie above or below 168 for Ward?

        It's amazing this guy eliminated almost all of his challenges so quickly into his career. He was basically green when he fought Miranda, Kessler, Green and Bika. I believe we saw a prime Ward against Abraham and Froch, and he is currently prime right now. I think his prime will last a long time because of his style. He hasn't taken much punishment even after that tough resume he just went though.

        The toughest fights for Ward that realistically can happen are at 175. Pascal, Dawson, and Campillo. Damn Ward vs Campillo sounds like a sexy fight. Ward vs Pascal as well.

        I'd say Ward vs Bute but first Bute has to beat Froch, which will be tough getting the decision in Nottingham, so he has to knock him out. And i'd also say Sillakh but first he has to beat some one in the top 10.

            above
            Ward cleaned out his division in the super 6
            nothing left for him there except Bute if he beats Froch
            he'll have to go to 175 for new blood
            doubtful Martinez moves up
            nobody else from 160 is coming up to fight him

              He hasn't "cleaned out" his division

                and he did so without losing many rds
                he doesn't have all the belts, but he doesn't need them
                it's fair to say he's the boss in his division without being undisputed

                  Maybe reading between the lines here.

                  But you don't think Froch can beat Bute?

                    Bute is relevant at 168 and is arguably a more difficult fight than anyone he fought in the tournament.

                    I'd go as far as to say Andre Dirrell would also fall under that category.
