Andre Ward released an autobiography last month that I recommend to the sub. Surprisingly, the most compelling content isn't related to boxing but his upbringing (although those two things are intertwined).
If you've seen the Showtime doc, it covers much of the same ground but with much more detail.
It's hard not to respect the man for what he has had to overcome in and out of the ring. I know he receives a good amount of criticism for some of his business decisions and stubborn personality, but there's no denying his accomplishments and iron will to win.
I also appreciate that he shares his faith in the book without proselytizing. I expected preachiness but he does a good job of keeping it focused on what worked for him and not casting judgment on those who may not believe.
Interested to know if anyone else has read it yet or thoughts on him/his career in general.

I think a prime Ward would just be too much for Canelo, but then again Canelo's power has stuck with him from junior middleweight. Might be a toss up

Statement:
To the sport of boxing – I love you. You’ve been by my side since I was 10-years-old. You’ve taught me so much. You’ve humbled me. You’ve promoted me. I’ve sacrificed a lot for you, but you’ve given me more than I ever thought possible. You gave me a platform, made me a champion and helped me provide for my family. I am forever grateful to you. You and I will always be synonymous, connected at the hip. Thank you for all the wonderful people I’ve come in contact with because of you. I’ve made friends for life. As I walk away from the sport of boxing today, I leave at the top of your glorious mountain, which was always my vision and my dream. I did it. We did it.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you to everyone who has played a part in my journey. You know who you are. I could not have done this without you. I want to be clear – I am leaving because my body can no longer put up with the rigors of the sport and therefore my desire to fight is no longer there. If I cannot give my family, my team, and the fans everything that I have, then I should no longer be fighting. Above all, I give God the Glory, for allowing me to do what I’ve done, for as long as I have.

I got GGG on points. He jabs his way to a close split decision win. Deciding factor is that GGG scores a knock down at some point like he did vs tough competition in Jacobs and derevyanchenko.

Andre Ward was ranked as the best boxer in the world pound for pound as a light heavyweight. He successfully moved up from a successful career as a middleweight to dominate at this weight. This is a feat even Canelo did not succeed at. On top of this he holds wins over the likes of Sergei Kovalev and Carl Froch.
He didn't fight that long ago. Why is it fighters like Eubank, Morrison, Roy Jones and De la Hoya are much more popular? Why isn't this guy more widely talked about?
Edit: @JoyousDiversion, thanks.

I included Ward from 2017 because he was only in his early thirties at the time, and was fighting at LHW for his last few fights. Would he still beat Bivol even if he's a little past his prime with his 2017 self? Or is Dmitry too much for him?
