Moving to LHW would be an complete and utterly stupid move (at least if you look beyond the next fight), wherefore I have chosen to completely ignore these musings.

Defend in Germany (yeah, that will truly be waste of time, but just get it out of the way quickly), fight one more time this year in Denmark or on a US undercard, and go after the winner of Froch-Taylor - this will be a unification - or at least Jeff Lacy. Putting a beating on Lacy might get him within a shout of a Pavlik fight, which btw would generate much more money than Chad Dawson.

Another route is just marketing himself in Germany, aiming for Abraham. He has beaten Beyer and now Sartison, Haussler may be upcoming (mandatory), and he could travel to Jurgen Braehmer or Denis Inkin this year as well. That would probably make financial sense, and by now even American audience (not that they matter _that_ much) should give props for an Abraham-fight.
