SMW and LHW 2011 and a little beyond

How do you see these 2 divisions ending up?

I see Ward easily trashing AA and Froch, who I gained a whole lot of respect for, advancing. The Froch-Johnson will be a FOTY candidate. I see Ward UD Froch in about an 8-4 range. Bute KOs Magee and beats a returning past it Kessler. I also see Ward beating Bute in a VERY close fight near the end of the year or early spring 2012.

Twinkie Dan's blog said that HBO paid ~2.5 mil for Pascal-Dawson which I don't see HBO matching and I definitely do not see Showtime paying. This means Pascal-Hopkins 2 is next I see Chad being forced into a Cloud fight. I got BHop and Chad in those fights. Will BHop fight Chad after that? I am going to say no. Meanwhile Shumenov unifies and fights Cleverly. A pure guess at this point but I say Shumenov beats him. Chad will then face Shumenov as BHop sits out trying to lure Joe back. Chad will then possibly hold 3 belts and BHop would be forced to face him. Chad beats the near 47 or at 47 year old BHop and then faces a younger version of BHop in Ward. Ward beats him because Chad doesn't have the heart for a dirty tactics war that he would be in.

Andre Ward 2 division lineal champ by mid 2012 sounds good to me.

I do see Ward cleaning up Super Middle but Light Heavyweight seems a bit more open right now. Hopkins might have just made Pascal look amateurish but I am still not convinced he'll give Dawson the chance to face him, and I've always felt Cloud would stop Dawson if they ever met.

If Dawson beats Pascal in the rematch I can see Hopkins moving up to challenge Haye or Cunningham. Cloud then stops Dawson to become the lineal champ, then Ward moves up to out hustle Cloud.
