    So there you have it. Its not only not cheeky, its a possibility that he gets the fight.

    He hasn't got a CHEEK. He's a fighter looking for big money, it's what they do. Either accept that or go away.

    MCloskey can up it big time. He is a bit incosistent. He's durable and on a good day tough to hit. I've been really impressed with Kahn though since he moved to Roach and since his move to light welter. I still fear for him against big punchers.

    Mccloskey needs to go for Alexander. He's highly ranked by the WBC and he stands a chance with him. He should leave Kahn alone for a while. He really can be a top fighter. Timing is everything for him. When he gets the timing right, like he says "he'll be a tough night for anyone!!"

    You see that sometimes fighters up their game for the bigger fights. Mccloskey is one of these. He knew after the first round he was a class above lauri and went through the motions for the rest of the fight. He'll suprise you I think.

    Should still avoid Kahn though until he gets in with a slightly lesser world level fighter.

    Well if he wants exposure at the world level he could fight maidana and if he wins he is guaranteed exposure due to the fact that many think Khan is ducking him.

    i agree with this

    the times ive seen paul fight like a world class fighter was the times when he faced ex world champions or when he fought colin lynes away from home on a few days notice , i think his reflexes are much sharper when he is on egde and when he fights a worse level of opponent like nigel wright , rasilla or lauri he gets dragged into a fight that he knows he will win anyway

    If they all went by your rational he'll always fight lower level opposition.
    He admitted himself it was a poor nights work,but in general you have to admit he is not that bad.

    He'll have to watch more than one fight to make that assessment Frank.

    Paul McCloskey is a very good fighter. I have my own interests in this division obviously but I think I know a good fighter when I see one and he is a good fighter. Khan is a good fighter with serious in built deficiencies. I would fancy McCloskey to beat Khan.

    Does not matter as he is very used to go into the other guys hometown to win. We have waited long enough. Remember the contest against Ionut Dan Ion was scheduled in Romania. I was literally at the airport when we got the news that it was cancelled.
