Comments Thread For: Khan Admits Retirement is Near: It Could Be The Time, I Couldn't Get in a Groove

Never again, please Amir. Go home & be big in Bolton. You beat Kotelnik, Maidana, Alexander, Malignaggi, Collazo, Judah & you deserve a lot of admiration for that. You through man. Don't be a Chisora. Finish boxing before it finishes you.

He's much slower than he used to be, and his punch resistance is even worse than ever before. He should call it quits and retire, for his own health. He's made more than enough money as it is.

Khan right, the best I seen from Khan is when he was around 24-27 but even then he still got stopped by Garcia in those years.

Not to make it ALL about race because every one is different, but it's well known that people of middle eastern descent age quickly, aren't the strongest sturdiest people and aren't known to be able to take punishment like say a Mexican or German but they are known to have heart like Khan does.

That said Khan has taken a lot of punishment throughout his career and is entering a stage in life where CTE is and should be a major concern. Some of the clean shots he was taken from Brook made me cringe, he really needs to just hang em up for his own sake but I worry for him anyway

OK.(1) There are no 'races' in the human race. Scientifically, the differences between ethnicities are vanishing small. Saying a Mexican or a German can naturally take punishment better than (say) a Syrian or Iraqi is TOTAL B/S
(2) Khan's background isn't from the middle-east. His parents are from Pakistan. He lives in Bolton. I think Bolton is closer to the middle-east than Pakistan is but it would depend on how you define 'the middle-east'.
(3) So, generally, utter bollox from beginning to end

Khan's background isn't middle east but his parent's are from Pakistan? Dude WTF are you even talking about? There are no differences in ethnicity? Then why are the majority of basketball and football players black? If you want to replace the word "race" with "genes" that's fine but don't say there isn't any difference between people from different parts of the world when there clearly is. Usually it takes a extraordinary boxer from the UK to beat the best American boxers because people from the UK aren't as strong as Americans.

khan's legs turned to jelly by a jab in the 1st round and he never fully recovered. Let me see, Brook also got KO'd by a Crawford jab, and Yarde got KO'd by a Kovalev jab, and we all know how chinny Joshua is. Something in the GB water that makes these boxers so delicate?
