    Maybe he is, but let's be honest, Ward probably retired because the idea of facing a gauntlet of potentially very dangerous question marks wasn't too appealing an option.

    Let's see if he makes a conveniently timed comeback after some of the sharks have taken lumps out of each other and the waters aren't so dangerous. We'll know exactly why he decided to hang them up now if so lol

    lol He did but wasn't that Callum Johnson they turned down? He wanted both but I can't remember which of them it was HBO turned down.

    All he has to do is take one look at Beterbiev and he can tell he's packing Loma like titanium testicles, and the mere idea of trying to get past The Nail's superlative jab trying to land a nutshot give him the willies.

    He aint retired. Just waiting for the division to clear out. Fair enough i guess. He's ducking these killers as the risk is just not worth the reward.

    Slogging away through 8wk training camps.

    Stevenson doesnt want it. There's nothing worth it for 18mos or so at least.

    Olympic Gold Medalist and undefeated Light-heavyweight champion retires as a millionaire with all of his marbles. . . .Whats the issue? (except for the morons in boxing forums who want boxers to fight until they are Holyfield, Roy Jones and Pacquiao and are used up)

    Probably knew he would look bad not going to the U.K. for Bellew and HBO turning down his latest attempts to steal money at LHW he knew now was the beast time to get out especially after the mangnitude of the latest stage heist he just pulled off.

    I dont think theres a guy at lhw that beats Ward. Kov was the best of those guys even though these bums are jumping off his bandwagon im not. Ward beat a monster.

    I agree i just think it's funny that they're moving on from kovalev looking for the next one to bring ward down.
