    Carl Froch has said that if he was Amir Khan he would retire after the world-title defeat to Danny Garcia last night.

    Khan, despite starting the fight in the ascendency, was floored by a left hook from the American at the end of the third and was soon stopped in the fourth as his legs continued to look shaky.

    Speaking to Radio 5 Live's Sportsweek, IBF super-middleweight champion Froch said: "I would retire if that happened to me...Why? Because I am not in this sport to get beaten, knocked out, or outclassed.

    "I've lost twice, I lost a very, very close points decision to one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world in Andre Ward and I've come back and beaten an unbeaten fighter, Lucian Bute, the very next time so I'm world champion.

    "If I had lost to Lucian Bute I would probably have retired, because I am in this game to be at the very top and stay at the top. I'm not in this game to make up the numbers."

    Carl you've been saying that since Prescott, and you're 35, you wouldn't retire at 25

    I think he's been misquoted regarding the very, very close points decision as surely that was the Kessler right? Anyway, there's an element of truth in this from Froch, Khan either needs to 'go hard or go home' as they say.

    If he's going to carry on Khan won't rematch him just like he wouldn't Prescott.

    khan gets ko'ed by a heavy handed dude - that doesnt mean his ****ing career is over.

    amir has a ton of talent, and can easily bounce back....
