    no. he is a fighter who should be ranked around 10-15. would be competetive with peterson level of fighter (fringe contender should be ranked about 8-12) and maidana because of styles

    No the guy is good for a domestic stay busy fight but nothing more nthen that at this point, he needs to climb the ranks to deserve a shot at the top guys.

    No.

    He was fortunate to have even been given the opportunity, and he's only got himself to blame for a poor showing. Yes, the headbutt was unfortunate, but in the complete first half of the fight, he showed no signs of being in it. He was more concerned about getting out of the way of punches, lost every minute of every round, and stunk the joint out with his negative approach.

    McCloskey lost every round. Heck he lost every single exchange in the fight. I never had him come out of an exchange and thought "Oh wow he landed one or two more hands than Khan did". Not a single time!

    No way he deserves a rematch. He should get in line and become mandatory challenger.

    No, he doesn't deserve a rematch, he did deserve a proper chance in what was a title fight, it was a bull**** stoppage. He didn't put a good enough shift in to warrant a rematch, tough break for him though.

    No way jose. He was stinking up the joint too. Would rather see him vs a prescott, mitchell, holt type fighter.Didnt show any threat for khan.

    The headbutt didn't lose him the fight. The fact that he lost all the rounds is what lost him the fight.

    He does not deserve a rematch. He should either work his way back up, or make himself more marketable like Khan.
