    unless its a final eliminator pm will be waiting a long time for a ****.

    plus the winner of gurerro vs maidana would vacate before they fight mccloskey.

    Ive been thinking this for a while, maybe Paul should drop down to 135. Seeing as how the 140 division is as sstrong as it is, theres little or no chance of paul ever getting a title or even another title shot. Not saying he would win a title at 135, but his chances would greatly improve if he went down, especially once jmm vacates his belts.

    Prescott made Amir a superstar in under 2 minutes. Got to admit everyone was bored shitless with Amir and his opponents up to that point. He still be working with that columbian trainer if it wasnt for the Prescott kicking.

    He would have been found out at the highest stage eventually anyways if he stayed with Jorge Rubio.

    I'm being disrespectful for a fighter I've always supported, which as a result I've gotten a lot of abuse for? Ok.

    Lets face it, you don't need any kind of supernatural power to have stopped Ortiz in that fight. He was an inexperienced, undisciplined kid in there, the fact he was caught continuously with flush right hands, coupled with his mental fragility, is what stopped him. You don't need concussive power to break a fighter's will if you're pounding him for six rounds straight.

    The Cayo stoppage was off a body shot, a shot to the solar plexus to be precise, again, you don't need to have dynamite in your gloves to stop someone with a shot that's placed that perfectly in that area. Added to that the fact he was clobbering Cayo with an awful lot of shots clean on the cranium for round after round, yet couldn't severely dent him? That does not strike me as a fighter with substantial one-punch knockout power.

    Hurting a notoriously weak-chinned Khan is hardly the basis for a guy having massive power. Khan's ability to receive punishment has definitely improved since his rise in weight, but it's still nothing to write home about, and can be dented quite easily if he's caught cleanly enough. Maidana's not even the hardest hitter in his weight class.

    That's the trouble with the irish, they have that siege mentality

    It means small minded, mccloskey's fans are never gona let the amir khan thing go. When khan moves up to welterweight they'll all start saying he's avoiding paul

    They had to put "The only man to beat Khan", didn't they. That's just desperate, man.

    I know what it means, but thats only a certain percentage of his support and it hasnt been mentioned in a good while, Havent seen any Irish posters mention Khan again lately have you?

    Btw dont label all the irish as the same, some of the brit fans are just as biased as **** and there is no denying it.

    It's not an irish thing. The Murray fans did similar things

    Not all Irish supporters are like the McCloskey ones. Most of them [Irish] are top notch, to be fair. Some of the best posters on ESB are Irish.
