    Definitely fight the winner of Froch/Kessler II in the last quarter of 2013.

    By then Froch will have been built back up enough to generate interest. And if Kessler wins, well, I think we'd all be cool with him fighting Ward again.

    As for now, maybe take a 'cupcake' and fight Anthony Dirrell? I'm not saying Direll's a cupcake, I just expect Ward to squash him.

    I'd also like to see the Andre Direll fight down the line, after they build him back up.

      Ward should go up and fight for the WBA belt, than unify with Dawson (assuming he wins his next fight).
      No body will watch another Dawson fight unless he(dawson)starts knocking people out at LHW and builds a name up cause hbo's not gonna throw money on a pointless rematch.

        That would be very lucrative for Ward and a good fight too. Problem is Pascal already signed a contract to fight Cloud and he got injured and couldn't secure a venue this year, so the fight is postponed to early next year. That means he's not available until next summer...

          Ward could just make a few easy defenses. Not every fight has to be a superfight. But one of the middleweight champs would be good if they want to move up.

                Oosthuizen was scared to fight Froch lol i don't think he wants anything to do with Ward, who would more than likely make him fight in Oakland.

                  If Dawson beats the winner of Cloud/Pascal, then Dawson/Ward 2 @175 would be a good match to make.

                    I'm with this guy right here. If Saturday's fight was on the east coast, Dawson would have beat the brakes off of Ward, guaranteed!!

                      I'd still like to see Bute.

                      Other than that, there's not much left to do at 168.

                      The next step would be 175, there's a lot he can do there.
