    He's young but he's been around for what seem's like forever, and he seem's to be on the decline.

    How long has he got left in Boxing? 2-3 years?

    Maybe 2-3 minutes after he gets knocked silly by the next opponent which is Mayweather,no doubt.
    The best Pound for pound champ continues to cherry pick,and this one's just bloody awful.:tired

    True. Be great if Amir could upset the odds, though!

    That's the thing with Floyd - He has no bottle at all. And that's how history will always remember him...

    Khan is cashing in now he's got about 2 maybe 3 more fights in him if let say he gets banged out cold then that will reduce the number of fights he has left,Khan is showing signs of wear and tear slurring and keeps contradicting himself in every other sentence....

    Interesting interview on f####hype with Hunter talking about Khans speed and ability to throw 6/7 punch combos which I thought was quite ironic given the way Hunter has seemingly been trying to change Khan's style which as pointed out on a number of occasions has resulted in him looking like he was caught between two styles.

    For what its worth I think Khan looked best circa 09 / 10 when he had some very credible wins. Think it was mentioned on here recently about the footage of Khan on the mitts with Roach in thr build up to the Judah fight and he looked electric.

    Thr trouble with a Mayweather fight is that he really has no where to go after when the inevitable happens which in my opinion would be a points loss by that a points loss, however am sure plenty will predicting the KO.

    I think he's already thinking about retiring. Wants a Mayweather pay day. I think he said he wants to quit at 27 which I think he is or will be soon. If he doesn't get his huge pay day soon I think he might go another 2 or 3 years. I think he'll quit before he's 31 no matter what.

    The same guy who couldn't ko Mat Hatton. We'll see in the coming year or two how much of a risk Alverez was.

    Depends how he feels at 147, if his chin holds up better he may stay around for another 2 years.

    Khan is the same age as Luke Campbell and as much as i aint a Khan fan you cannot knock what he has done...how long he has left depends on himself ,my guess is 2 or 3 more top fights and he will leave as a fighter who has fought the best out there.you cant ask for much more than that

    Yeah I found that pretty funny when they mentioned it at Campbell's last fight.
    Khan hasn't done bad at all. Can't all be SRR.

    Yet he's petrified of Manny, Ducked Margarito and Cotto in their peaks?

    He has achieved a lot. Maybe get another strap at some point, but can't see him beating any top fighter at WW or JWW. He's had a long pro Career.
