    Andre Ward has reportedly retired as he's scared of facing Rio Ferdinand.

    Sorry but I am indifferent to Andre Ward he is a fighter I have very little interest in truth be told you like what you like in boxing and Ward with Hopkins were two fighters I never really cared for.

    He had at least x4 fights left!

    I know it's his body and his decision blah blah blah...but come on!

    The money!

    Now Floyd retired, he had a few years of being the top dog in the game with big money fights his way!

    Ward vs Kovalev 3
    Ward vs Stevenson
    Ward vs Badou Jack

    Mmmm..they all do look like tough fights.

    I am sure Kov does not have the balls to fight Ward again.
    Stevenson was afraid to fight Kov never mind Ward.
    The Jack fight would have been interesting but may not have made the money that would make him get back into the gym.

    Ward did have some serious injuries and surgery to fix them.

    He never fought outside of the US. There’s no way he’d come to the UK and why would he jump two weight classes when there’s big fights to be had in his own division?

    It wouldn’t be embarrassing if he avoided AJ and Wilder just like it wasn’t embarrassing when Jones didn’t fight Lewis or Klitschko. He started his career at 168 while AJ weighed in at 250 for his last fight.

    Guys like Beterbiev and Gvozdyk would have also been tough fights.

    Roy Jones Jr.

    Roy Jones Jr. - prime v prime Roy late
    Bernard Hopkins - Ward
    James Toney - Ward
    Joe Calzaghe - Ward
    Michael Spinks - Not sure
    Archie Moore - not fair , too many generations between them
    Bob Foster - Foster

    Feel sorry for Alvarez, how long has he been waiting on Stevenson? Although I did think he scraped by Chilemba. I had that fight 115-113 Alvarez I think.

    I actually really like watching Stevenson, he’s got an exciting style and he might be the biggest puncher in Boxing pound for pound but there’s no denying he’s been avoiding tough fights. He should have fought Kovalev years ago and he’s been putting off Alvarez for a while now too. Alvarez has beaten the other two Canadians in back to back fights so I hope he gets his shot against Stevenson next. Jack, Stevenson, Kovalev, Alvarez, Gvozdyk and Beterbiev all need to fight each other and forget about anyone else in the division.

    I think Barrera should be in the mix too.

    Jack
    Kovalev
    Gvozdyk
    Beterbiev
    Barrera

    That's how I would rank them at the moment
    Shame nobody put together a tournament like they've done with the weights above and below.
