    Nobody on here has crapped on Khan as much as I have but it kinda feels like the end of an era for me. I can remember Khan in the Olympics and his very early career. Despite his Glass Jaw he was able to win some trinket belts and he was not scared to fight the best (Kell Brook duck withstanding). I hope Khan doesn’t squander his money and has a great retirement. He could easily do commentary for one of the British Boxing networks if he wanted I think he could add valuable insight.

    Good. He made for exciting fights througg out his career, i hope now Brook follows suit. Nothing else left for him at this point either.

    Khan is a manufactured product who's been doing chicken dances and been ridiculed his whole career.

    In a sport of 17 weight divisions and 4 world champions per weight there's nothing noteworthy of anything he's done at all. This celebrity drama queen multi flawed comedy act joke hasn't won a world title fight for 11 years, couldn't last long at world level, got knocked out in all 4 divisions he fought in, lost and got dropped to all levels of fighters. He's an absolute JOKE. :lol:

    His fanbase are just so desperate they keep holding onto him knowing that all their other fighters are leisure centre level bums LOL

    If Khan hadn't have won a sliver medal we wouldn't have seen Calzaghe V Lacy?

    What a load of revisionist nonsense.

    Ricky Hatton and Prince Naseem Hamed says hello. Lennox Lewis don't just put it all Khan's back. For a guy that is famous for one thing getting KTFO. Get's so much credit. Hatton, Hamed and Lewis are greater fighters than Khan anytime.

    Amir Khan has done more for the sport of boxing in the UK than most people can comprehend.

    The myth
    The man
    The Legend

    May he retire in peace

    From boxing.

    I'm sure we all hope to see him making a tit of himself in a few more tacky reality TV shows.

    He still light years better than Khan. So stop the nonsense.Hamed puts fools to sleep. Khan likes to go to sleep in the center of the ring and quit. Like the Crawford debacle.

    Who picked up the Tv contract to show Calzaghe? Before Lacy he was fighting on at 2am after the girls on Babestation got tired of fingering themselves on camera for £1.50 a minute.

    He didnt fall asleep last night did he? Or against Crawford.

    It was only against a roided up monster in Clenelo where he went to sleep.
