Comments Thread For: Andre Ward Announces His Retirement From Boxing

[club fighter]

With 2 *VERY CONTROVERSIAL* wins over Kovalev, all the evident and documented video displays of headbutts, elbows, & dirty tactics, a lackluster style, and reluctance to take on the man who holds the other light heavyweight belts, I can only say he will never be considered an all time great.

I'm from The Bay, I've seen him fight in person and I have never been impressed.

So Adonis doesn't get Ward OR Kovalev. WTH is he doing?

exactly what every fighter and promoter wants, which is to fight easy fights for big money for several years.

Good luck to whatever you get into in life. You were a great fighter, a great champion and most of all you were truly a great person. You weren't that person who had to be this fake personality to attract people. You were content with who you are are never had to be fake to satisfy others. That's the mark of a real man. God speed and good luck.

one of the biggest frauds in boxing, good riddance

Wait, and I bet you think lil g is not fraud?

That came as a surprise. Very overlooked his whole career, not loved by the whole boxing world. Understandably so. He should go down as an ATG.

Stevenson is the happiest dude at light heavy now. Not only does that coward have to fight Ward, if he ever finds his balls and steps to Kova he's assured that hes been soften up and broken downed enough to fight.

Canelo is now #1 P4P

Ward, Mayweather, Wladimir, Marquez, Bradley, Mosley, possibly Pacman. While Bradley may not be a shoe-in and Pacman may fight into 2018, if they all retired this year and stayed retired, that is one heck of a HOF class.

What about Cotto ?
