Andre Ward has nothing left to prove. He has made his fame. Made his money, and now should be concentrating on enjoying it.
Beterbiev vs Ward isn't a very good matchup for Ward, he'd get killed on the inside and he'd have to fight the entire fight on the outside which is no the area that made him a p4p boxer. Stevenson vs Ward is pretty interesting though.
Pass Ward did his thing and even went out with some excitement which is rare for SOG inside the ring I liked him but he did and proved enough IMO Let the man enjoy his freedom
No. I think he retired on his own terms and on top. Like Lennox Lewis did. I respect that about Andre. He probably could've continued and added more to his legacy but he left with all his faculties in tact and as a respected ambassador to the sport of boxing. I was happy to see him retire in that way vs over extending his career and possibly damaging the legacy he worked so hard to build
Look at what LHW is filled with. The top is littered with punchers with no name value. Not a crew to half ass it against even if he wouldnt be doing it for less $$$. Ward feels he's done. He was smart to walk away before the sport made that retirement decision for him.
