    Amir Khan Not Considering Retirement; Responds to Froch

    Taken from BBC Sport:

    Amir Khan has dismissed suggestions that he should retire after losing his WBA light-welterweight title with a fourth-round defeat by Danny Garcia.
    Khan also lost to Lamont Peterson in December and IBF super-middleweight world champion Carl Froch said his boxing career was now "a write-off".

    But 25-year-old Bolton fighter told BBC Sport: "I'm not talking about retiring, I'm still young, I've got a lot in me.

    "I'm still hungry and I'll come back a lot better and a lot stronger."

    It was the third setback of Khan's career following a first-round knockout against Breidis Prescott in 2008 and the Peterson result.

    Froch claimed that if he was in the same position as his compatriot, he would hang up his gloves .

    But Khan responded: "Carl's always got his little things to say and I'll leave it to that really. If he wants to retire he can retire.

    "I'm in a tougher division, I'm fighting better opposition and I'm a bigger name than him. That's what burns him really.

    "People are going to say things after this fight but people said things after the Prescott fight and you see how I came back from there."

          only newbs think a couple kos and you retire.

          boxers retire when they're past it or can't make any more money.

          khan has a bad chin, sometimes he'll get koed. that's boxing.

                    he's had china his whole life. still put together a nice run.

                    he can put together another one.

                    hell makes his fights more interesting. you never know when his opponent can put him to sleep at any time.
