If Ward beats Kovalev, would it be okay for him to retire?

What else can Ward do if he beats Kovalev?

He can if he wants to but I would like to see him continue on because a win over Kovalev in addition to his other wins won't be enough to get him in the HOF IIMO

beat Adonis Stevenson to establish himself as kingpin of a second weight class, before setting the stage for shots at cruiserweight and heavyweight to close out the career.

Andre Ward is all of 32 years old, is just about 6' tall, and is currently walking around at a camp-fit 185lbs or so.

He's not going to hang around like Hopkins, Ward could easily fight into his mid 30s (likely 10 more fights or so) and be just chilling.
