    Not sure. Hasn't fought anybody in Kahn's class. When he boxes though he looks top class. When he fights, which he sometimes likes to do, he looks very average. Has a really awkward style. Don't think a lot of boxers would like to face him.

    McCloskey would definitely be a much tougher fight than anyone Khan has ever fought...I think Paul would beat (KO) Khan within 7 rounds.

    I am going to take a wild guess.....your from Ireland???

    Look I rate McCloskey very highly but right now Khan would **** him up. If he is that good why would his last opponent be Barry Morrison.

    There have been a few rumours of McCloskey vs Ajose in a WBC eliminator but doesn't look like its happening now. His next fight will be Lauri rematch, pruse bids are due soon. He struggled with him before the stoppage so won't be a bad fight to learn from, poor for the fans though.

    Shame about the Ajose fight not happening, that would be good.

    Yip I am...I gather youre from england? Khan still has a shite chin, and McCloskey would box his ears off before KO'ing him.

    Lauri?? That sucks. I was hoping for at least mbaye

    I don't see either having a field day in a kahn v mccloskey matchup. I think both will struggle with each other. Kahn's speed may be too much for mccloskeys reflexes but he leans back and would love kahn coming after him. Trust me. It would be a good boxing match.

    McCloskey is good but he hasn't been tested with a top 10 yet.
    I think he should fight Malignaggi ASAP or maybe Kotelink or Urango. If he can maintain his performances on that type of opponent I wouldn't rule anything out. That said - Khan is different animal now since he went to Wild Card and his chin has been so well defended that I think it won't be an issue any more.
