He might do what Floyd did back in 2007-2009, retire when the division was really hotting up and return later once all the fighters had taken a bit out of each other.
Beterbiev was about to be Ward's mandatory and Ward wanted no part of him and there's other good fighters coming through too.
He wants no part of the likes of Beterbiev, Bivol etc.. As good/dangerous as Kovalev is, these guys are technically better than him and Ward knows it.
He will probably stay retired unless someone comes along that generates big money and it tempts him out of retirement. Floyd was too big a draw himself so the opportunities were always there
