Yeah, I'd say it's time. His punch resistance is nil at this point (and it was never good to begin with). Didn't like how his body reacted to every half-flush punch that landed.

Khan is nowhere near as good as he and his fanboys think he is. This has been proven again and again.

Last night proves that speed is always the ONLY thing Khan had going for him. Without it, he's a mediocre fighter with no ring IQ and a talc chin.

It'll be his last fight of any real consequence. Wouldn't shock me if he had a couple of fights against jobbers in the Middle East before calling it quits.

No way. He showed last night that there is another 3 years left in prime Khan. He just came up against a man in Brook, who is just approaching his prime, and is clearly a late bloomer like Bernard Hopkins, prime at 42 vs Calzaghe. Brook's peak years will be 38-45. So much life left in those chocolate brownies, but Khan was as good as ever. Fast, iron-chin, never down, and probably could have seen the final bell if it wasn't for A-Star jumping in there. It looked like the same Khan who gave Canelo a boxing lesson to me. Nash out.

It's definitely time for Khan to hang the gloves up. When you see the openings but can't pull the trigger , it's time. His punch resistance is gone too. 35 isn't a kid , he's been boxing all of his life and wear and tear accumulates. I always liked Khan for his willingness to get in a fight. Win , lose , or draw, Khan came to fight. I can't ask more from a fighter than that.

Kell force-fed him so many chocolate brownies he tested positive for diabetes after the fight.

Peace & Blessings Amir! It's a wrap! Safe travels!

Can't say after losing is a good time but there is never a good time. Retiring after a win is hard also. You never imagined you'd be fighting at 35 so now could be right time

Brook should probably retire now on a high note but likely the prospect of fighting Nigel Benn in the Uk would be too much to pass up. Khan should definitely retire but if he fights on and becomes a scalp for a younger fighter, so be it. The same way he took advantage of an older and smaller Barrera when he was trying to build himself back up after the Prescott o ko, someone may offer him enough to get his name on their resume.
