    Well, let's have it, genuine question.

    Chin is 100% china, very little power, abysmal ring IQ and defense. Most importantly he makes the same mistakes again and again, he doesn't learn from anything. His extraordinary conditioning and help from lenient referees have prevented him being stopped on several more occasions than he has been.

    I know people will say he's 27 years old, why on earth would he retire etc. In my opinion, with the handicaps he has, Khan loses to any of the top 140 or 147 pound fighters at the moment. So what's the point? I say he should retire, enjoy his money, and avoid the likely possibility of being badly hurt at some point.



    Edit: Forgot to add the poll. IB?

    No, the worst that could happen is he's stretchered out of the ring and ends up with a brain injury.

    Given the mistakes he makes, how open he leaves himself and how weak his chin is, I think those things are a possibility.

    No, but if he doesn't look good or more likely gets knocked out next time out he should because he literally can't go 12rds without being put on ***** street anymore.

    I'm really shocked that he struggled this much against Diaz. It was supposed to be an easy fight for him, but he seemed to have declined even more.

    Fighters are learning to exploit his weaknesses. He's always had a shaky defense and a china chin. I don't know if he should retired, but I know he's no longer a top 5 fighter at 140.

    No man, I love to watch that guy.
    His fights are always full of drama and he can get dropped at any time in the fight, wich gives great suspence.
    And on top of that, his delusion has no end to it. he wants a titlefight next.

    Let's keep him around for a while :yep

    I'm always in favor of guys to retire as soon as possible.

    So, I say yes to this question.

    However I know if I were him I would not be able to retire at this point.

    I enjoy watching him get beat up, so, no, I don't want him to retire.

    If any of you think he should retire, you're not fans of boxing and clearly have a thing against him.

    Why?

    Until he gets knocked out badly again, he should not retire. Still a lot of millions to be made!:deal
