Why is no one calling on Khan to retire?

    Khan has taken enormous damage from a long list of fighters with Canelo being the latest.

    Yes he is only 29 but he has been through a ton of wars and made alot of money. Where does he go from here? There are killers in 147 now not just past-prime big money mega stars like May and Pac.

    I just find it strange no one is calling for him to consider retirement. Maybe one more fight with Brook and he should call it a day? Even the B list fighters at welterweight would probably give him big problems.

    Because it's the only thing boxers can do. He's only 29, he can still make some money. It's their job.

    He definitely needs to retire. He's lucky in that he' made way more money than his abilty/ achivements should have... but that's because of race/ religion. Time to retire though now before he gets brain damaged.

    After that KO I thought "It's time for him to hang 'em up". What's the point in fighting if your wins are meh and losses that catastrophic?

    He can still win and longshot a title imo at 147 has to regroup and take a tuneup at 147 then he'll be like 30/31 so ... Ive followed him since 2008. Khan's a great fighter with some damn good wins. He should have fought Brook instead of Canelo. Anyway this all started because Danny Garcia's dad got in Khan's head haha. Khan was dominating Garcia from distance before he got careless. Anyway the catchweight is just enough already, my goodness. Khan needs to be at 147. Canelo 160. Bring back same day weigh ins. Khan will keep going. Id say if he loses again by devastating KO then hang it up and enjoy your life.

    He will continue to fight for as long as the big paychecks are on the table.

    Another 2 bad losses in a row and he will be forced to retire because he will become an opponent/gatekeeper level fighter
