    "Carl's always got his little things to say, I think I'll leave it at that really. I'm a young fighter, I'm 25, I'm not talking about retiring, I'm still young and I've got a lot in me," said Khan, who now has a 26-3 record with 18 early wins and two stoppage defeats.




    "I'm going to give my body a little bit of a break now, spend some time with my family. There are a lot of options out there for me and it's about picking the right ones.
    "The next fight will be in England, I hope. I'm going to relax for a week, not even think about boxing for a week or so, and then I'm going to leave it for my team to do a great job."



    Looking to the future Khan, who is looking for a rematch with Garcia, confirmed he will continue at light-welterweight and said on Radio 5 Live: "We've just got to go back to the drawing board, sit down with the team and see where we go from there.

    He'll probably pursue a fight with Morales which I hope he gets turned down and cornered into a fight with Alvarado or Matthysse.

    Carl is right and to be fair the bbc reported it that froch said amir should retire.. when in fact he said if that were him he would retire.

    Khan is done at elite level. no defence and no chin

    Froch said that if he had suffered two KO losses in the manner that Amir Khan had, he would retire.

    And now the little deluded **** swallower says this:

    But Khan responded: "Carl's always got his little things to say and I'll leave it to that really. If he wants to retire he can retire.
    "I'm in a tougher division, I'm fighting better opposition and I'm a bigger name than him. That's what burns him really.

    Theres alot of boxers out there with a far worse record than that who keep losing at a much lower level than Khan does and have a lot more knockout losses too.

    But nobody says they should retire.

    It's not about that though. no one is saying amir should retire. froch said he would if he had suffered the loses amir had. talking from his own prespective is a crime to amir it seems.

    also these fighters with worse records are not shouting from the hills that thay are elite and p4p etc

    Froch's two losses: A close UD loss to Kessler (#4 fighter in the 168 / 175 range IMO) and a competitive, but clear loss to Andre Ward (#5 P4P, #1 fighter at 168 / 175 IMO)


    Khan's 3 losses: KO losses to Prescott and Garcia (#3 ranked 140 fighter, WBC Champ) close UD loss to Lamont Peterson (top 5 140 fighter IMO)


    There's no shame in Froch's losses, as those were hard fought fights against elite fighters in his division. Khan was a heavy favorite in every fight he lost. He's lost fights more dramatically than Froch has, and he has two KO losses on his resume to what was considered "lesser opposition." Doesn't look good on Khan to say a single word to Froch, especially seeing as how Froch came back after each of his losses VERY strong (UD Abraham, TKO5 Bute)

    Oh i agree he needs to shut the **** up. Hes good but hes not that good and his chin is ****. I suppose after a big loss like that you could feel like youd want to hang your gloves up but ive read a few things on here saying for his own safety he should retire based on the fact he cant take a punch.

    personally i don't think he should retire.. maybe he does end up with brain damage but he knows the score..

    One thing for sure is that he knows his level now and has to deal with it.. Something tells me he can't deal with it cos in his mind his is a "super star"

    His attitude to boxing is all wrong and it shows.
