Ward had very very little fans, what a sad career it was. Suits him right with his A Side demands and dirty tactics headbutting, almost blinding Kessler and trying to make Kovale infertile with his puches to the groin. No character, no charisma, just a dirty selfimposed diva.

I'm genuinely interested in your response. I've always liked Ward before his fights with Kovalev, but I guess I never watched close enough to see how much he uses that "bend at the waist and launch with your head move". Honestly, is that HOF boxing? Are the low blows dirty or "veteran moves"?
haha, i think my ward avatar throws people off.
i'm a genuinely unbiased poster. or as unbiased as a person can be, i guess.
i thought ward should have had points taken and that kovalev should have had time to recover on several occasions. i can't see how any sane individual would argue with that. he's not evander holyfield, but he's without a doubt boxing's most prolific headbutter on the p4p level. probably the biggest head butter at the p4p level since hopkins. maybe i'm forgetting somebody, but i doubt it!

Cong**** on Illustrious Career.......
Ward has nothing to prove by continually fighting. Stevens won't fight him. Ward was forced out of his division by HBO to lose to Kov who he knocked out and beat twice. GGG, Bellew Degale won't fight him so there really are no big money fights for him. Badou Jack would probable fight him but there's not a lot of money in that fight. Might as well retire on top and do analyst work or coaching going forward. Wish Ward and his family nothing but the best on an excellent career.

How you gonna retire and duck a trilogy with a guy you were gifted a tko over with a dck punch
His legacy is headbutts clinching and dck punches.
Beating a drained chad dawson .headbutting the shht put kessler. Never traveling outside oakland beside the kovalev fights in which he was helped by the ref and judges .

However, how many fighters can claim they retired as p2p no 1... Respect to the man!
Didn't enjoy his fighting style, but nobody can deny his boxing skills and his talent. ATG SMW for sure!
