IBF super-middleweight champion Carl Froch thinks that fellow Englishman Amir Khan should retire from boxing after his world title loss to Danny Garcia.

Carl Froch has said that if he were Amir Khan he would retire after the world-title defeat to Danny Garcia last night.

Khan, despite starting the fight in the ascendency, was floored by a left hook from the American at the end of the third and was soon stopped in the fourth as his legs continued to look shaky.

Speaking to Radio 5 Live, IBF super-middleweight champion Froch said: "I would retire if that happened to me... Why? Because I am not in this sport to get beaten, knocked out, or outclassed.

"I've lost twice, I lost a very, very close points decision to one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world in Andre Ward and I've come back and beaten an unbeaten fighter, Lucian Bute, the very next time so I'm world champion.

"If I had lost to Lucian Bute I would probably have retired, because I am in this game to be at the very top and stay at the top. I'm not in this game to make up the numbers."
