    not up to speed with twitter but does RT mean Re-tweet? so Khan didn't say it himself? just re-tweeted somebody's suggestion?

    No professional boxer should be allowed on Twitter, etc...it's so embarrassing when you hear, "Boxer A is having a Twitter war with Boxer B"...

    I have been all around Ireland as a irishman (naturally) and ive never heard the phrase "Top of the morning to ya" used once in my whole life. Im 33 years old too. NEVER.

    Khan beat Mccloskey easily.

    :lol:

    It was just a joke. To be honest I found it hard to do an Irish accent on my keyboard, so I thought I had better throw in an Irish stereotype to make it clear that I was pretending to be an Irishman

    You will probably find that probably about 95% of irish fans including myself will have Khan winning and even if a few of them picked Mccloskey theres nothing wrong with that. Dont call someone deluded just becuase they might have a different opinion to you.

    yes, it certainly will not be easy for khan, if maidana can catch him, mcloskey sure as hell can, and mcloskey is a lot classier than malignaggi before anyone brings up that comparison

    I dont mind a joke but at least use a real irish phrase like " Well sham " and not a american movie invention like " Top of the morning to ya "

    Dropkick Murphys aint irish either they are american just like Mickey Ward who also is American.

    It's a suggestion from a friend of his.

    So its not an "announcement" and its not by Amir Khan.
