    Fight nobodies in GB for pay days. He simply can't take a punch.

    I'm not one of these sensationalist posters that thinks every fighter should retire once they lose their zero (I think Cotto will bounce back for instance) but I think Khan should retire. He's had issues with punch resistance from day one and this fight made it absolutely crystal clear that he has no business at all being in the ring with anyone that has a decent KO %. And at the elite level that's going to be most guys he can step in there with.

    If his problem was anything else I'd say keep at it, but you simply can't work on your chin, and I'd hate to see a young guy like him get hurt.

    I think he will try and come back, i don't see the point in changing trainer though, what difference would having Roach or Floyd Sr in your corner make when a slight gust of wind gets you a standing 8 :yep

    I think if he gets Floyd sr. he could actually last a full minute

    Damn, by the sound this post I don't know if it came from Con's girlfriend or a fight fan.

    Dude needs to retire ASAP. Prescott was an unknown ffs. He steps in the ring with a known puncher and he's dead.

    ffs hes with frank warren, you all must know warren wont let him retire, hasnt made anywhere near enough for him yet! frank would rather see khan in a coma with bags of money rather than safe and sound
