    ...can anyone complete the sentence without looking at his twitter account?

    "I'll be mad" ?

    "I will dedicate my career to Dan Goossen" ?

    "I'll be a commentator on every HBO boxing card" ?



    ........naww. :yep

    If I never box another day in my life, I can't complain. God has been good to me. Boxing is what I do, it's not who I am.


    Retirement? Does anyone know if Goossen-Tutor pulled their defamation lawsuit from court?

    God has been good to him, but Ward is no Christian.

    Christians are supposed to be honest and fair, not dirty fighters who cut their opponents with deliberate headbutts.

    "Let's be honest here, Ward came in like a billygoat" - Al Bernstein

    And Christians are supposed to be unselfish people, not self-centered egotistical prima donnas like Ward who really don't care about anyone but themselves.

    Why so much hate people. Chill the **** out.

    Ward Isn't a fan friendly boxer, but he's hardly some huge ****. Always seems grand when commentating.

    He said at the beginning of the Super Six that he wants to retire young when "people are asking (him) why (he's) walking away."

    Ward has gone from the least relevant & least cared about fighter to the most relevant THEN BACK to the least relevant & cared about fighter DESPITE bieng a top tier operator in the shortest amount of time of all time!

    holy crap. he is low profile as it gets for a man in his position.

    Nope. How about ensuring his team makes offers to potential opponents?

    He has been very vocal about his situation. He wants to keep fighting and wants his promoter to make fights even while the legal issues are going on.

    Obviously that seems dumb to the rest of us, but Ward does want to fight

    AFAIK Kessler's team offered him a fight in Denmark and he declined + didn't submit a counteroffer. Do you know of any offers made to (any SMW) by Goossen-Tutor on behalf of Ward? As soon as Ward's name is mentioned in interviews, fighters all say something along the lines of Ward not being an option due to his contractual disputes.

    He watched Beterbiev's last fight. That's the reason.
