    If tonight meant anything and had any credibility then get in with Canelo next and retire.

    Beefy at 154 would be a great fight.

    Yea he should carry on. Age is just a number he still looks like a top quality operator to me. Id like to see the Thurman fight.

    Liam Smith or Conor Benn

    or If he wants to take a real tough fight, go for it against the Charlo/Castano winner for the 154 belts. Don't wanna see him a face a young lion like Tim Tszyu, Jaron Ennis, Vergil Ortiz jr for no title.

    Depends is he financially well off? If so then retire.
    If not then go after Eubank in a final fight that would be huge.
    Benn maybe as well.

    Go for benn or eubank. Neither anywhere near the level of crawford and spence. Nothing else out there for him.

    Eubank wont outbox brook. With his old style he would get brook out of there at this stage. But the new eubank under jones...will come unstuck when his boxing doesnt work against a better boxer than him when he doesnt do the same training that allowed him to throw punch after punch...high workrate/strong etc. I rated that version of eubank. Groves just too big/strong for him and offset him with his very good judgement of distance.

    But if you dont have that...that version of eubank could become a nightmare for you. This version...will come unstuck against a better boxer which kell is.

    Kell will slow down for that fight...rushed his work against khsn as part of the gameplan to get khan working harder than he wanted to be. He,ll slow it down against eubank...and beat him at boxing. Weight wont be a massive issue cause eubank doesnt really use his weight much anyway.

    Rightly or wrongly this win has made him relevant again, he has three choices....fight Benn, fight Eubank or go for a final run for a title at 154lbs...the first two being huge pay days the latter being about legacy. I don't think retirement will be on his mind just yet.

    I hope the 32 year old next gen does not get this fight, he should be ashamed calling out brook.

    Kell said he wants another payday, he now has some leverage with such a high profile win.

    Kell should retire.

    He's looked past his best for ages, he's beaten his arch rival via stoppage, he's in no man's land @ 154. Call it a day or fight Sergio Martinez.

    Retire.

    Khan was absolutely shot to pieces last night so I wouldn’t get any ideas in my head about suddenly being reborn again.

    Go out on last nights win.

    Retire.
    A lot of the talk beforehand was how shot kell was. (me included) what we saw that khan's resistance was gone totally and he was even more shot.

    A good performance that generates a few quid and gives him bragging rights. Should call it a day now.

    He looked hollow checked even on fight night so 147 isn't for him and he's never looked likely to threaten the bigger guys at 154.

    Despite Khan being well past hit he still landed plenty of decent shots on Kell and bigger punches might produce a different reaction.

    Bottom rung on the ladder fight last night - not even a Marks and Sparks belt in sight.

    Amir Con really gave the mugths a good poking last night
