Comments Thread For: Amir Khan Unsure About Boxing Future, Admits Mulling Retirement

[Oregonian]

First sensible thing he has said in maybe 5 years.

———-

But what legacy is he alluding to?

[JLC]

I was thinking the same thing. What legacy? I'll give him that he made a decent name for himself at 140 though. After that it's been pretty mediocre. A lot of "what ifs" in his career

Amir Khans post 140lb career has been one big time waste. He has don’t NOTHING worth mentioning at that weight.

He did have a really nice career there and should be proud of what he accomplished, even though he underachieved somewhat.

Re

He's had to many missteps to ever be taken seriously as a challenger. A side promoters will now try to low ball him.

He still has one money fight left that he's ducking. Hometown rival Special K. All Khan seems to be interested in, is occassional trash talk, before ducking him.

[Carpe Diem]

Do I need to do one more fight which could ruin my whole legacy? I don’t know the answer. I’m up against myself. I’m debating with myself should I carry on or call it a day?

what legacy?? this guy is really delusional

Show some respect! Khan is the GOAT.

Mikey Garcia should end GlassJaw's career

Just fight Pac and let him retire you with a beautiful ko please

You can't ruin your legacy, man. You already been put to sleep many times- Briedis Prescott laid you down and bent your neck in half. Danny Garcia twisted and spun you around 180 degrees with a hook. Canelo knocked you into a perma-dream with your legs spread eagle in front of the whole world. Multiple other fighters have dropped or hurt you badly. You took a vicious slow, sustained beating b4 you quit against Bud, you ran and hid from Kell Brook for well over a decade making at least a hundred different excuses why you didn't wanna fight him- everything from he needs a belt, to he needs a name, to he needs to fight some names, to he doesn't talk nice to you, he needs to unify, he won't accept your lowball offer, he's not good enough, he's with the wrong promoter, he needs to sign with so and so, etc. You are obviously very scared of that man. Then on top of all that, Anthony Joshua mowed your wife's lawn. So what legacy are you trying to protect by not fighting on? Keep going man, and give us some more highlight reel losses by knockout.

Say what you want about Khan but I don't recall him being in a boring fight.

I get that Khan can be an insufferable clown but he didn't do too badly. Olympic silver medalist at 17, world titleholder at 140, some decent wins on his record: Kotelnik, Paulie, Judah, Collazo and Maidana (a very good win, beat him better than Floyd ever could). People call him an underachiever but that's only because his accomplishments never matched the hype. To me he overachieved. What was Khan really? Decent fundamentals, no chin, limited power, no actual ring IQ but a lot of speed. He did quite well for someone who was never that good in the first place.

Khan has nothing in the tank though no one would blame him if he decided to cash in. He is just a punch bag and 4 round fighter now. For a man with no chin he did well. He is a marketing genius because he talked himself into big fights and even got the attention of Pacquiao and Canelo.
