is andre wards career over

[New England]

Yeah... Ali being in jail and Ward being a lil b*tch are vastly different reasons for inactivity. Ali's is excusable, Ward's isn't.

ali was never in jail. he was denied a boxing license when he refused to be drafted into the army and become a puppet for the state, the way louis had in his prime. that's something that only the most uninformed think. you know absolutely nothing about muhammad ali.

Jail is much easier than denied a boxing license for religious reasons. Either way he was not fighting for a valid reason, being a p*ssy isn't good enough.

It is the bad business mistakes that is hurting his career more than anything else. Having J.Prince as his manager is the real Hold Back to his Career, no disrespect to J.Prince in anyway but Boxing includes Politics outside of the ring and well because of his connection with J.Prince that keeps away Top Rank, GBP and Al Haymon because they are aware of his rep. It is alleged that Arum had to help get Mayweather out of his situation with J.Prince years ago.

Signing to a New Promotion is once again, not a great move right now for a guy that has done everything right in the ring but haven't reached Stardom because he doesn't have the right Representation outside of the ring!

He can't make many demands right now, he has to take whatever HBO offers him, he should maybe just let them present the opponents that are acceptable for them and pick from that.

I hope not but he continues to make bad career decisions. Signing with roc-nation may be a mistake.

HBO would laugh Andre Ward out of the room if he wanted to fight Cedric Agnew or Blake Caparello.

[MDPopescu]

HBO is trying its hardest to kill his career. HBO hates American fighters.

Are you on something?

Back in Jan 2012, Ken Hershman (then the Showtime chief, and now president of HBO Sports) personally took his protege (i.e. Andre Ward) with him... From Sho to HBO... The fact that Ward didn't want to fight anymore isn't Hershman fault -- Hersham always believed that Andre was the future P4P #1...

Or Stevenson. Oh wait I'm sorry, I have that wrong. Stevenson runs out of the room every time someone mentions a certain potential opponent.

[MDPopescu]

He's become irrelevant at 168 and is basically just waiting for ggg to move up. His career revolves around hoodlum at this point.all because he doesn't wanna move up and fight new people.

Are you sure that Ward is waiting for GGG to move up? As of lately, Ward said he would come back soon, but failed to call Golovkin up again.

[CANELOLUJAH]

hopefully he's a coward.

They would if he was asking for $2mill to fight them instead of $300k-$400k like Kovalev did.
