Comments Thread For: Amir Khan: I Just Could Not Retire After The Canelo Loss

[thack]

O.K. fair comment but fighting a no named fighter whose last fight was at 163 and fighting again at a catchweight of 150 after saying he'd never fight above his weight ,welterweight again raises su****ions of what he's actually testing .Is it if the public are still gullible enough to pay massive money for him to fight second raters? and then fall in to a fight for mega bucks fight with Brook that has long lost it's shine.

I've heard enough of Khan and hope he retires soon.His best fight was seven years ago against Maidana .....it's been all downhill since.

Khan is retiring after a ko loss one way or another.

Khan act like he was actually in the jungle making life decisions.

I wonder if he was deciding his future between having his make up put on and getting the lighting right.

if you hear him tell it, you'd think he served in Vietnam, meanwhile he was really more so in a scene of tropic thunder.

Khan should have retired before the Canelo loss.

[Theodore]

In other words, he needs another big money fight before he retires. He thought he got it with Pac last year.

Khan you used to be a real fighter. If you really want to win a world title again like you claim, why sign with Hearn as opposed to fighting the PBC champs at WW (Spence, Thurman). You have gone soft.

IMO Khan can't beat right now any Champs at WW... for sure.

[Boksfan]

Yes you could Khanvas, yes you could.

[IronDanHamza]

Can't see Khan beating any of the top WW's.

Dude aint had a meaningful fight since 140..delusions is real

He's spent 8 years chasing a Mayweather/Pac payday and didn't get it. He's known all along that he can't afford to fight any top WW as a loss would put him out of the reckoning for Mayweather/Pac, so he's been careful of his opposition at 147 (the Algieris etc, and Canelo at 155 didn't discredit his illusory claim of still being a top WW).

He's still not quite given up on the Pac payday, but he's close to realising he needs a Plan B now, and that's what we see him scrambling for.

Pac might still happen, so he won't risk anyone like Thurman, Porter, Spence as the loss would end all hope. But Brook at 154 still allows him to claim 'I'm still best WW in the world, 154 still too heavy for me'.

Previously Brook was at 147, so like any other 147lber, had to be avoided to maintain the 147 claim-to-greatness. Hence the 'I get 70%...' demands with Brook previously, which he knew would nix any chance of the fight happening.

So expect Khan to fight Brook at 154, while continuing to hang out on Filipino street corners with his skirt hitched up hoping he gets Pac.
