    getting frustrated with Ward by now
    might as well be with Don King sitting on the shelf like he does
    after the S6 and Dawson, Ward rightly took p4p #1 from Pac and Floyd
    then he blew it sitting on his ass doing nothing
    what's the deal with him and Goossen?
    nursing an injury was one thing, don't know about his promotional woes
    he became a star and champ with Goossen, so it's surprising
    Ward is wasting valuable time and fading from view quickly
    come back and get to 175 already, this is getting annoying

      Wants control of his career, so he's trying to get out of his contract with Goosen.
      Arum been whispering in his ear and he wants Chavez Jr on PPV.
      Only way he gets that though is if he joins Top Rank, which won't be possible till 2015, so he's trying to get out of it now

              That's your p4p number 1 or 2 guy right there...dwindling away month by month. Time to hop off of the list for more deserving candidates.

                  talk of retirement could simply be a means of pressuring hbo, or threatening goosen.
                  Its possible. But he doesn't act like a guy that's eager to fight again. He's throwing a tantrum because he wants to fight Chavez Jr. and Arum won't give him Chavez until he gets his promotional situation cleaned up.

                  A fighter that chases Chavez coming off consecutive horrible performances is clearly just looking for a quick cash out and is not interested in challenging himself anymore.

                  I think he's legitimately sick of boxing. He's been doing this for 20 years and is tired of the wear and tear on his body. He seems to enjoy commentating to the point where he wants to make a career out of it.

                  I really think he is a guy we will only see once a year for the rest of his career.

                    Nothing else at the weightclass. might as well unify again and grab more belts.
                    He ain't getting Chavez Jr

                      Dan Rafael on an ESPN chat said that Ward didn't like that Goosen was using Ward as leverage with HBO when negotiating for other fighters in his stable. Ward didn't want to be used as a pawn to help Goosen get more money for his fighters (and himself) from HBO.
