Where does Ward go from here?

Ward appears to be between a rock and a hard place. He has beat the other top super middleweights. Should he move up to face the top light heavyweights even though he can still make 168, especially considering the depth in the light heavyweight division? Pascal-Bute winner, Hopkins-Murat winner, Cleverly-Kovalev winner, Bellew-Stevenson winner, and even the losers of those fights would be new challenges.

I think he should fight Froch again and then move up. After that fight there really is nothing left for him. I remember he did want Bute a while back and with Froch beating both Bute and Kessler and picking up two belts again it really does put him back up there. If ward fights him and wins he no doubt should move up.

Looks like Carl is going for the cash and Kessler 3. This site can be quick out of the gate but...

I would have liked to have seen ward vs pavlik.
Shame pavilik couldnt have kept himself busy

Ward should have a stay busy fight such as win another alphabet strap and then take the left over of Kessler v Froch.

Well Hopkins Murat is off, I think he should go after Stevenson for an easy lineal title. That is what makes the most sense for me. To much can go wrong with shady decisions going to England but a Froch rematch is still what Iwant.

Last I saw Murat couldn't get a visa and it was only rumored to be back on.

Also, how do I sound like VD? If you are Ward, you pretty much know many of your bouts are going to a decision and of course you would worry about getting an unfair shake in another fighters backyard, common sense! I still want to see that bout, as I stated. But if I was Ward, I'd go after Stevenson because it's an easier fight with more prestige,.

Ward could rematch Bika and get another trinket if it is not already his.

Ward could do something different and beat up De Gale or Groves and build up interest in a fight with Froch.

Ward suffers from Hopkins syndrome, both fight in a ugly unattractive style it may be effective
but there fights are SHIT to watch.
I want entertainment if I want sleep I go to bed,! if Ward never fights again would I miss him
NO, sum of you may but it's down to taste, not unlike shit with sugar on it may be sweet but
under that sweet coating it's still SHIT.
