    Maybe Froch was right about Khan all along

    Remember when Froch said Khan should consider retiring after the Prescott loss?

    Well here we are 6 years later. Khan has done less than d*ck since 2011, is draining crappy welterweights (Diaz, Senchecnko), getting knocked down by drained crappy welterweights, looking pedestrian against pedestrian fighters (Molina), got his butt kicked by Garcia, and now making every excuse in the book why he has a shaky chin (making weight, other fighter resumes).

    If he lands the Floyd fight, that alone will be his greatest achievement in the last 3 years. Forget the actual fight in which he will get embarrassed.

    He is a fun action fighter with skill but perhaps he isnt as good as he thinks he is. Khan needs to embrace that role and find a nice spot for himself.

    Well, the prescott fight was in 2008 and he's managed to win multiple world titles since then and looking at a 8 million dollar payday.

    I'm sure he's crying himself to sleep every night wondering why he didn't retire in 2008.

      typical fanboy avoiding the point. just like khan does.

      Khan is just in this for the money? What has he done since 2011?

        Well your post was a typical hater thread.

        He's 2-1 since Garcia and getting the biggest fight out there.

        I'm sure he's good.

            Getting himself qualified for a shot at the sports biggest superstar?


            Honestly. 3 years (or so) ago, I thought Khan would have the best shot at beating Floyd outside of Pacquiao.

              Froch didn't say that Khan should retire.

              He said that if he (Froch) had been KO'd like that at this stage of his career, then he (Froch) would retire.

                  Khan had a worthwhile run after losing to Prescott. He was considered the best junior welterweight in the world and a worthy possible opponent for Floyd Mayweather in 2011.

                  I'd say not retiring after losing to Prescott was by far the right choice.
