he didnt 'fall out of love with the sport'. he knew the writing was on the wall, theres dangerous fighters in and around his division and he should have had a loss in the 1st kovalev fight and he cheated to win the 2nd fight. People whine about older fighters picking easier opponents, well at least they are still fighting and didnt retire when the division heated up.
a fighter who wants to retire doesnt get on the phone personally to frank buglioni to try and make a fight.
hes 'retired' so he can pick and choose a nice easy payday when it pops up. Thats all there is to it, i guarantee he will be back in the ring, probably against bellew.
And ward talks about a 'legacy play' in his latest interview, well why not fight the wbss winner? how much more of a legacy play can u get than beating the winner of the tournament? Youve fallen out of love with the sport so much that you cant just have one more fight to prove yourself as a great? its bull****....
