i am a fan of ward. unlike most people, i enjoy watching him fight. he does so many things well. during the super 6 tournament, i honestly thought that ward was going to be the undisputed #1 p4p in a few years and stay at the top for years to come. he could have gone down as the best SMW in history IMO. he has so much talent.

obviously his career isnt officially done, but he has been inactive for so long that he is wasting his prime years. also, he always mentions how he doesnt want to fight for too much longer. if ward only fights a few more times and retires, i will say that he was the biggest waste of talent that i have ever seen. i have seen and heard of very talented boxers that ruined their careers because of this or that, but i have never heard of someone ruining their career that was so close to becoming the best boxer on the planet. its sad because i really wanted him to succeed but it has been so long that i have lost all hope that ward will live up to what i thought he would be.
