Amir Khan announces retirement

Apparently there's a rematch clause, but I highly doubt Khan would exercise it. He was a walking trainwreck in there vs Kell. Kell beat him pillar to post. Lets be honest, Khan looked much better against Bud. Time to hang em up Amir.

 

In fairness, he won a war with Maidana and also holds an underrated win over Kotelnik.

Otherwise... Bye!

 

He was a good fighter


I never rated him above Bradley though, and his big fight for all the marbles against Garcia went the other way.

At WW he wasted years chasing Floyd/Pac

But ultimately he had an entertaining career and fought some top names.

 

He holds a Pakistani passport for crying out loud so calling someone a Pakistani (nationality, not a race) is now considered racist?

Is this the sort of world you'd like to live in? The world of the easily offended? "How dare you say that, that's racist!"

Do you think De La Hoya would take offense by calling him a Mexican.. Incredible. People call Ruiz a fat little Mexican all the bloody time! Is that racist as well?

This is slander, careful.

 

I know. I've blocked him.

Whenever there is a Khan fight, all these lowlives come crawling out of the woodwork.

 

He had way bigger wins than Kell Brook ever had. Kell Brook's only major win was Shawn Porter.

Khan stopped Malignaggi and Judah in impressive fashion. Khan beat Kotelnik, Maidana, pretty much schooled Devon Alexander, Algieri, and should have got the decision vs Lamont Peterson. That was a clear hometown decision for Peterson. One judge had Khan winning that wide. We hear a lot of robbery claims on here, but Khan Peterson was a TRUE robbery.

So Khan had far more success on the world stage than Brook ever did. I am very disappointed with Khan's performance last night, he was a shell of himself, but overall he's had far more success in the sport than Kell Brook had.

 

You've quoted the wrong person buddy.

 

Best of luck to the guy.

He had a great career and fought everyone who'd get in the ring with him.

Couldn't take a big punch and water too much of his career trying to get Pacquiao and Mayweather though.

 

You said "he had an entertaining career and fought some top names", like he fought some top names but never had any big wins. He won several more big fights against top names than Kell Brook ever did.

 

@Keysersoze is only one who came out of the woodwork. A grand total of 4 posts all for Khan.
Khan delayed this fight for as long as he could but got chinned nonetheless.

 

Chinned is when you are out for the count like Khan was against Clenelo.

Last night Khan showed plenty of heart and a good beard. He never hit the deck despite being wobbly as hell

 

His career was entertaining. He fought some top names. Stop obsessing over Brook you weirdo.

 

Thank the referee for that. Brook was about to pummel him.

 

Obsessing over Brook? What are you talking about?

Khan not only fought some top names, he beat some top names. Khan fought a lot more top names than Brook did, and beat more top names than Brook did.

 

Probably a good stoppage, I don't think he needed to take anymore punishment, but Khan still was defending himself intelligently. Just rubberly legged and worn out at that point.
