amir khan saying he will retire at 28 is...

What is wrong with leaving with your health intact? You mean it's better to box and further your career as long as you can even if it means getting brain damaged in the process? Well no thanks.

 

:good

 

There are loads of swarmers and fighters. What was Ricky Hatton? He left the sport for his own good. Khan is not saying anything that is a disgrace, he is saying that he knows the dangers of the sport and will have been putting himself in there for 10 years by the time he is 28 and believes that is a good time to retire.

The sport would have far less of a bad image if guys like Ali had not carried on when they were past it.

In Britain there is a guy who recently retired called Jamie Moore. Involved in absolute legendary domestic fights where he put everything on the line, look up his bout against Matthew Macklin it is almost Gatti-Ward like. But he retired recently on medical advice and after some bad losses.

Being a realist about the sport and saying you will not go on too long is not killing the sport or being a piece of ****, let alone a *****.:roll:

Boxing politics and the bull**** way in which so many big fights are not made is what is most damaging to the sport.

 

Not sure how you can say Khan is a *****. Being a boxer doesn't give you the right to spout negatives about a young world champion. What have you done lately for the sport?

Personally, in case you forgot, good boxing is about hitting and not being hit, although it's a given that fighters' will give and ship their fair share of punishment in the ring. There's nothing "******" or cowardice about wanting to leave the sport with your faculties intact.

Too many shots to the head have left greats like Hearns, Toney, Ali and many more with unquestionable impairments. One of the greatest middleweight fights, in my lifetime, between Benn and McCellan show's us the futility of being too brave in the ring; their toe to toe war left McCellan in a wheel chair with very expensive ongoing medical support bills.

You'd have to be STUPID, in my opinion not to agree with Khan, simply on the basis of self preservation.

"You can't play boxing..."

 

Khan hasn't hit his prime yet. When he does and he's making what Pac and Floyd are making he's gonna add another 8 years onto his career.

No need to worry about him. He'll do ok.

 

I wouldn't be suprised if he was retired by 25. All it's going to take is another loss and he'll begin to question why he's doing it. Currently the only thing motivating him other than money is the idea that he could one day be P4P king, once he realises that isn't going to happen, I doubt we'll see much more of him.

 

Well it's down to him, it's his career and his life. He's willing to step into the ring for yours and everyone's entertainment...

'hes a ***** and any other fighter who is afraid of brain damage shouldnt fight, period'

'and if anyone agrees with khan or thinks that fighters should be retired by 28 because of long term health reasons is a ****** too and are part of the problem and not the solution to boxing.'

Question(s), do you box? Are you a professional boxer? Do you get paid to punch and be punched in the face? If your answer is no to these questions, you have no right to call a boxer a "******", or "a *****".

'part of the reason why boxing is dying'

Also, boxing is not dying.

 

so youre a fighter...thats has a video of you only boxing your shadow? is that what conclusion or teaser video you showed? im too lazy to click the link

 

the only way fighters go out at 25 is if
they just dont have the desire (bojado)
they are so rich they walk away (havent seen that yet)
mental problems
jail
death

i cant think of but maybe 1 or 2 guys that ever said "man im done, it was fin...lata"

 

Someone who only posts this because the guy is talking about Khan?

Bit of a nuthugger.

 

:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl

 

He wont retire at 28. No chance

Haye I'm not sure about. I wouldn't put it past him to retire purely to avoid fighting Wladimir
