Canelo and GGG both avoided Andre Ward.. They forced Ward to move up and fight Kovalev, then he retired cause nobody would fight him..BJS next & Plant in Sept.... he wants to be undisputed @168........ i read that Andre Ward would come out of retirement to fight Canelo if he called out his name.

I remember Ward calling out GGG and Canelo and was willing to meet at a catch weight for either fight, they both ignored him so he went up in weight..How did Canelo and GGG avoid Ward when they weren't even in the same weight class? Canelo was still fighting at 154 when Ward retired at 175. GGG and Ward could've happened but only at a catch weight (164) but the fight never got made for whatever reason. Nobody forced Ward to move up. He had trouble making 168 and felt stronger if he didn't have to cut as much weight.
Ward retired because he didn't think he had anything more to prove and his trouble with injuries. His body was breaking down more and more. The only fight at LHW that was interesting for him at that time was Adonis Stevenson. Stevenson was the WBC champion. Ward was only one fight away to hold all the belts and could become the Undisputed LHW but decided to retire instead. He said he wasn't ducking Stevenson, he beat the best "Kovalev" and it was basically time to go......
