Either Dirrells, if they grow some balls.

Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
If Froch gets through his next three tests, I think he deserves another go at Ward. For the time being, I think if Martinez gets through Chavez he should fight Ward, that would be a cracking fight!
There really isnt anyone. There are names but they wont fight him any time soon as they are all tied up with each other. Kessler had his facebutted off and the ref did nothing and has a nice big money rematch with froch already sewn up for next year. froch and Bute will be fighting each other. He will fight Magee.
Instead of bringing an established light heavy down in weight, why not move up there?
Because there's no one there. He just beat the best light heavyweight in the world. I doubt the result would be much different if they fought at 175. And the other guys in that division are all a step below Dawson, so at least two steps below Ward. Don't see any point in that.
If JCC were somehow to upset Martinez, that would be the obvious fight to make, since Jr. has no business fighting at MW anyway. He really ought to be at light heavy himself. But I just don't see any result other than Martinez totally dominating him.
While Ward-Martinez would be very interesting P4P-wise on paper, Ward would have to go down to 160 for that to happen, which I don't see him doing. Martinez really can't go up in weight again -- he's still a natural 154-pounder (which again, makes a Mayweather fight the more natural option, though I'm not holding my breath for that either).
Rematch with Froch probably is worthwhile at some point, but just because it's the least bad of bad options. I think that rematch would be even less close than the first one, not for the least because Ward's hand was broken in the first Froch fight.
He could face Cloud, Pascal or the dark horse Campillo, who deserves another chance after that travesty he suffered against Cloud.
"You knocked him down...now how bout you try knockin me down ?"
Jean Pascal, Andre Dirrell, or Lucian Bute, were he to beat Froch in the rematch. Of those options, Andre Dirrell probably is the best choice. Both were Olympians in the same class. They were scheduled to face each other before Dirrell was injured in the S6. Ward has beat the rest at 168. Jean Pascal isn't a bad option either though because he brings a lot of $ to the table if the fight was held in Canada.
Either the winner of next week's fight... or Froch. I have no interest in seeing B-Hop fight ANYONE.... nor am I big fan of the Dirrells.
Well Kelly Pavlik for the big name on the resume even though Ward will make an easy night of him too. Froch could be an interesting rematch if the same Froch who fought Bute shows up. And Calzaghe will stay retired because he does not want to risk his 0 against Ward. S.O.G is to good for his own good.
I rather see B-Hop fight him than to see Froc get his ass beat again by the far superior fighter that Ward is. The winner of Martinez vs Chavez makes sense but like someone already said they would lean more towards Floyd or Pac than to come up against a less known and more dangerous opponent IMO in Ward.
