    Said he wants 6 more big fights at two a year which will take him to his 29th birthday (end of 2015) and then he would look to retire, also mentioned he's sure somewhere down the line he will bump into Mayweather.

    My guess is he will take a few more bumps down the road and which will keep him in the sport longer.. I reckon atleast till 31. So my guess would be 10-12 more fights, and retiring to some extent unsatisfied.

    But interesting he talking about retiring already, is his heart in the sport as much as it used to be, because 6 fights doesn't sound much maybe he's banking on a Mayweather $5-10 mill payday.

    Pretty wise...

    Once he loses his speed and 'engine' he is done...

    Shouldn't continue past 32 years old...

    He said he wanted to retire when he was 27-28? once... Ending his career at the top..

    Time flies and he's probably realising he better start using his time carefully.

    Two big fights 2013
    Probably will have 3 in 2014 unless at the end of 2013 he steps up to 147 and jumps in at the deep end..

    Hope he doesn't reach 29 achieving less than he feels he could have and then feels he is unable to stop fighting and continues to try and fill any voids.... end up like Judah.

    He's always said he will retire early. I don't think Khan is as stupid as people think sometimes! Fair play to him
