AMIR Khan insists he has no thoughts of retiring following his defeat to Danny Garcia and promises to come back "a lot better and a lot stronger”.Khan suffered a devastating second successive defeat in Las Vegas this weekend after being knocked down three times by American Garcia en route to a fourth-round stoppage in their WBA and WBC light-welterweight unification fight.In the wake of that loss Carl Froch, the current IBF super-middleweight champion, suggested Khan should consider hanging up his gloves, but the 25-year-old Bolton boxer insists he is far from finished and hit back at Froch."Carl’s always got his little things to say, I think I’ll leave it at that really. I’m a young fighter, I’m 25, I’m not talking about retiring, I’m still young and I’ve got a lot in me,” said Khan, who now has a 26-3 record with 18 early wins and two stoppage defeats."If he wants to retire, he can retire, he’s talking about retiring. I’m in a tougher division. I’m fighting better opposition and I’m a bigger name than him, and I think that’s what burns him really."People are going to say things after this fight, people said things after the (Breidis) Prescott fight (which he lost in 2008), and see how I came back after that. I’ll come back stronger, I’m still young, I’m still hungry and I’ll come back a lot better and a lot stronger.”Looking to the future Khan, who is looking for a rematch with Garcia, confirmed he will continue at light-welterweight and said on Radio 5 Live: "We’ve just got to go back to the drawing board, sit down with the team and see where we go from there.David Haye insists Khan remains a box-office attraction despite his disastrous performance against Garcia.
