    Like most murican boxers today, the aint boxing for pride, the are boxing for money and fame, and a soon as the get that, the lose the fire.

    That is what I like about the 3 argentinian horsemen, the are in it for the pride

      A fighter's chief concern should be self-interest, their time and dedication to the sport naturally enhance boxing.

        He'll fight when Jesus tells him to, and not a day before.

            You really don't sound like a Ward fan. He fought his way to the top of his weight class and he is considered one of the two best fighters in the world by most fans and experts. He can make over a million dollars a fight even with his fan unfriendly style. I am sure he will fight in Vegas with a good offer but he won't go to England to fight Froch and I don't blame him. For him to retire when he just now reached the top would not make sense. He should cash in on his hard work and success and make some serious money and then retire.

He seems like an extremely family oriented person and if that's the case his health is of up most importance to him, plus we never hear about him having any financial issues so I take it he's being smart with the money he's earned. He probably follows Hopkins financial advice and invests his money in pretty safe stuff like bonds and index funds.
              I'm friends with his financial adisor, he has a lot of money in10 year Greek bonds. Look at the yield curve for those. Risky!

              He doesn't seem to live a flashy lifestyle when I watched all access, he has a normal house and car etc so he looks like he'd be alright after retirement

                    He's not fighting enough. A man of his boxing calibre should be fighting more than once a year. When people see Ward fight again, they'll be reminded of his dominance and skill.

                      nobody mentioned marquez??

                      iv said it time and time again, there is no way ward should be rated better than JMM.
