    I miss him. He conquered Europe's best and then moved up and swept through Russia in 2 bouts.
    Andre Ward was gonna bash Anthony Joshua's face in but, AJ saw the way he was running through his buddies and opted out. Andre Ward would have embarrassed and KO'd Golovkin, KO'd Mayweather, and beat up the rest of the light-heavy weight division.
    Andre Ward was a man who was truly protected by the true universal God.

    History books should be written on how Ward conquered the best prime fighters in 2 division's like no other has.

    If Ward comes back to fight again, I would like to watch him fighting AJ.

    I was a fan and even I sometimes found his fights hard to watch and I was a big Hopkins fan so you know by boredom threshold is high lol.

    But honestly I don't miss him, I found him more frustrating outside of the ring than in it. Everything he said or did in regards to his career seemed to be to **** off fans. He was a walking PR disaster and it was hard being a fan of a fighter that kept doing and saying the wrong things. Thank god Roc Nation came along, without that stroke of luck he probably would still be fighting nobodies for peanuts.

    Ugliest style ever.more grinding and wrestling than punching. Thats coming from a hopkins fan. he basically forced is opponents into a grappling match 2 minutes out of every round. Atleast Hopkins was an entertaining banger until his early 30s. Look at how he beat the **** out of glen johnson. Ward fought uglier at 30 than hopkins at 50

    Didn't really like his style and would only watch him paired against a top dog, but absolute immense talent. One of the best fighters of recent years

    I think its unlikely we've seen the last of him
