Comments Thread For: Andre Ward Announces His Retirement From Boxing

[amuroray]

Top fighter and i can safely say one of the best i have seen.

A True ATG

That's a shame
I would've loved to have seen him dismantle Stevenson
He would've taken that left hand away and made him look extremely basic

Oh well, enjoy retirement. I feel I didn't get too really gain any attachment as a fan towards him. A few more fights would've really done him wonders. But he had a great career in the timeframe he had

[Skip Bayless]

Great career but my god he was boring, cant say I will miss watching him fight

Always thought Ward was a little too intelligent for boxing

I hope he sticks to his retirement. It took him a few tune up fights to get back on top the last time. He doesn't have that kind of time at his age.

I haven't always been a fan but he made me fan with his championship inner drive. A lot of people don't like him because he beat some of their favorite fighters. Rather than admit he was simply better they naturally took the salty position. He'll go down as a really good fighter but his career was too short for him to be considered truly great. He is a HOF boxer and will make it first time.

Props to an amazing career, his achievements were incredible unifying belts in 2 divisions, undefeated, some BIG scalps. He's obviously rich, go out on top well done!

and nothing of value was lost. maybe he had an attack of conscious and realized his career was fraudulent and built on cheating nonstop.

Maybe CTE was a concern?

HOF fighter for sure. I feel like his career didn't live up to his potential/skill level but it's his decision and I respect that. I would have liked to see him have a few more big fights but the guys he wanted to fight (GGG, Stevenson) didn't want to fight him. He didn't have the best fights but that's how it goes sometimes when you're so much better than the opposition. He was extremely skilled and was a true champion with a lot of determination. Best of luck to him in his future and next career. Very nice guy too who's very respectful and real. Thanks S.O.G.!

a lot of people don't like him because he's clearly cheating. a lot of people who do like him ignore this blatant cheating. that is what you should be saying. inner drive=do anything illegal to win? yeah its so salty to call out guys who clinch nonstop, jump into their oppoenents head first without even throwing punches, and low blow them over nd over.
