Andre Ward has nothing more ever to prove. If he wants to retire, then that's great.

    Ward has already proved himself as being the greatest SMW in the last 30 years, and now put a cherry on top by moving up and winning three LHW titles.
    This guy should change his last name to Andre Golden!

    He's truly TBE, the pride of Ireland.

    He has nothing more to prove. But he does have unfinished business with Kovalev - and he knows it.

    This man has nothing more to prove at supermiddleweight, unproven at lightheavyweight.
    One of the HOF, Yes!
    ATG? Probably not, borderline great by dominating his natural weight class.
    And last He is incredible boring to watch.

    Dude had a lot to prove sports fans nowadays are too easily impressed and ready to call guys great or atg. Maybe because of the division history you can call him an all time 168lber but all time great should be reserved for the special if special. He could get there but isn't there yet, it's a lot of current guys with potential to be some of the greatest of all time but none of them are there yet.
    Nowadays 1 top level win and people are ready to compare you with Ali 2 of them and they'll call you a god it doesn't work like that. Gotta have depth and right now its only 1 maybe 2 great wins and a handful of good ones. This goes for other guys as well

    Ward vs. Calzaghe is the only type of fight to keep either of them in the ring.. I don't blame him if he wants to retire.. he done good..

    He has 1 question that needs to be answered. He can't talk his way out of a rematch and if he does he will be penalized by the fans and critics.

    Kov was a part of that flop too. Nobody gives a **** about that. GG's ppv was garbage truck juice like Crawfords and they know Loma, Frampton, Thurman, Charlo bros, anyone at 168, and CW and hvw can't sell paint to a ****en wall. Only Pac and Canelo sell. But I'll watch all of them fight.

    He still has to prove he can beat Kovalev.

    But, other than that, yeah, great career.
