    I don't think he should retire, he still has a lot of fight left in em.

      I think he should from my personal perspective because I feel he will also lose his next fight and then it's a done deal.

      Otherwise, let him fight on but I think his career is all but finished.

            It is very clear that Khan can't compete at the very highest level with his existing technique. He is very fast and this has flattered his boxing skills. He has no infighting skills,poor defense when attacking and his footwork could be a lot better. IF these can be improved he will be able to compete at a higher level. That may be a big ask as his style is so woven into his DNA changing his technique so that it is on an instinctive level may be near impossible and this is something that should have been done already.
            However because of his niche fan base he can make good money fighting low level opponents which won't put his health in danger and can make him easy money. But right now realistically I don't see him competing at the highest level. Golden Boy may not be happy to give him a string of easy fights when they are paying him a fortune. I don't think he should retire but he needs time out to work on his deficiencies and then gradually step up the completion but for now fighting at the highest level can only lead to more loses

                  Maybe he can become the new Judah, never quite be the best but will do enough to constantly get title shots.
