    Game Over.

    He's already a massive laughing stock in Boxing. He hasn't had a credible title or win in years. If he loses to alexander or even just gets dropped he would be up there with Butterbean and Audley harrison.

    Butterbean and Harrison. Really? I've given Khan a fair amount of **** on here, but that's just ridiculous.

    Devon's a good fighter. No shame in losing to him. Very underrated, IMO.

    This fight should have happened at 140 when Khan, Bradley and Devon were all top dogs.

    A lot of people should retire then.

    If I were Khan and I lost to Alexander by a very close decision, I wouldn't retire, he can still make good money fighting. If I got badly schooled or KO'd I would consider retiring but look at Maidana, he got shut out by Alexander but went on to make a lot of money fighting the likes of Broner and Mayweather twice.

    Khan is still young, has plenty to offer and, like him or not, is still good to watch. You never know whether his skills will triumph or he will get sparked! Makes his fights edgy...

    Besides, just because you lose a fight doesn't mean you have to retire.

    nah he can carry on. Will he want to will be the question?

    Hes a name win away from being considered an elite fighter again and win over Alexander will put him right back in line for some big fights.
    Plenty of guys to make exciting fights with and maybe a couple he could even win...Even if he looses to Mayweather there is still a chance of making Khan V Brook. The Alexander fight is key to Khans career win and I think he will become a belt holder again at some point even if he looses to Floyd if that fight is ever made.

    Loose to alexander and although there would still be fights out there for him Cheaterson rematch maybe or the likes of Thurman or Porter ( I think has hard time against the last two) but I don't think he will have the drive if he looses at the top level again.

    Yes, he should retire if he loses to a 27 year old, still in his prime, former two weight world champion.

    Bit harsh there autistic kid. Yep it would mean the end of his top flite career but he would still have plenty of fights left, still plenty of money to be made on the world, euro and domestic scene. He may even get another title shot if he earns it. Certainly no need to retire.

    Khan is just cherry picking bum when does he ever face a guy with a over 50% KO ratio.... he's been cherry picking his whole career and still has a love affair with the canvas.. what a ****ing loser
