    Unless Khan is going up against a complete feather duster of a puncher, he should retire now.

      There is no doubt Khan has some neurological issues after all the bad KO's he's sustained. Every single time he got hit with a punch it was like his brain disconnected for a split second and he wobbled for a step or two before recovering. Even jabs were causing that sort of reaction. He definitely needs to not take any more blows to the head.

        His chin is even worse than it was in his prime, and it was awful then. He's got the punch resistance of an 80 year old woman, jabs were making him do the Booty Dew.

        Call it a day or fight a journeyman in Jeddah and sail of into the sunset.

          Khan talked about peaking too early. He didn't peak too early. He had the kinda start at the beginning of his career that most promising talents have: he won the fights he was supposed to, while compiling a respectable record. However, when it came time to show where he stood against the elites in his divisions, he proved to be just an average fighter. His fans overrated his worth. He probably knew deep down that his stock was overvalued. This is why he would campaign to face such cash cows like Mayweather and Pacquiao. Those would be great cash out/ jackpot paydays/bouts. He couldn't quite secure those fights, because just when he was about to, he would suffer a setback loss. Khan has always been overrated, sort of like an Adrian Broner is. That's the only fight left out there for Khan. A bum vs a bum aka.... average fighter vs an average fighter type of farewell matchup.

            He had an excellent career earning millions that most people can only dream of.

            It is the time now obviously for him to walk away from boxing, although he could still be involved in some way. He has a beautiful wife and kids, and doesn't need boxing anymore as the health is most important.

              I think Khan has made himself a fortune out of talking his way into huge paydays and then getting destroyed in the actual fight.

              He has done this for the last time against Brook.

              As entertaining as it was watching Khan do the chicken dance any time he takes a clean shot the PPV audience will soon tire of Khan running his mouth and totally under delivering on fight night,

              Can anyone name a single decent, prime fighter at 147 or above that Khan has beaten?

                I’ll give it three more months until he’s back running his mouth as if he’s P4P #1.

                  His career has only just begun... he'll no doubt be boring us ****** with his insight as a pundit for the next decade

                    True! Khan was never that good! He had great speed and he was decent when he wasn’t knocked out or wobbled, was always entertaining seeing him on his back tho! But you are right, I’ll give him that….he had the knack of talking himself up as if he were better than what we all saw, as if he somehow deserved those big fights (he didn’t), he got those fights and made a lot of money knowing damn well he was likely gonna get KTFO! I am so glad he never got the Pac fight, ain’t no way in hell he deserved the money that came with that one! But can you imagine what Pac would have done to him? That would have been something!

                      Khan was so bad, he made Brook look good! Yes, that's how horrible his performance was.
