    :deal Paul was a humble guy working his way up the ladder seemingly out of nowhere, now i can't stand the guy.

    what the **** is mccloskey up to, he hasnt had a fight since september, and he aint getting any younger.

    as for prescott being "robbed"...do me a favour...

    I think he realises his time is limited and he realised he ****ed up against khan, he only has time for one big surge, by 35 he will be done

    McCloskey relies heavily on reflexes for defense. I doubt these reflexs will last till 35.

    I'm asking a fairly simple question but no one seems to know. At what weight did mcCloskeys managemnt offer the fight to Paulie?

    Well, wouldn't that possibly be the reason that Paulie turned down the fight?

    Is Paulie fighting at welterweight exclusively now?

    Since the Khan fight he has....either way, 140 or 147 Paulie would have him.

    his reflexes were never that good, he just has an under-rated boxing brain

    McCloskey would do him at 140

    McCloskey had one shot at the big time and blew it nothing to do with with nationality all to do with style.

    Think Paulie needs to focus on boxing than talking all the time. Since ****ing twitter started and theres been nothing but a lot of talk. Time for him to get back to basics and if the fights come his way great. He needs to get back fighting regular and quick. Aim him at a weak champion and try and get him a final world title fight. He needs to be tested and a fight with Olusegun could well be a good test for the 2 fighters.
