    Khan is going to be sparring with Pacquiao who is better than Mccloskey. He is going to have the best sparring out there.

    True that. He hasn't fought many southpaws - but he spars, and if we believe all that we hear, does well against the best in the world.

    I can't see McCloskey getting anything from it unless Khan is guilty of looking beyond the fight, gets careless and walks on to one.

    First and foremost, speed kills.

    The p4p comment was a joke, based on your ridiculous overrating of McCloskey.

    Need I remind you of some things you said a while back?

    Don't worry, I'll remind you ;)

    I smell an avatar wager.

    I'm confident enough to say that if McCloskey wins, I will make my first ever picture on ESB a picture of your choice Right Hook. Deal?

    Paul Mccloskeys a better fighter then people give him credit for, Khan still has a questionable chin and we all saw what happened to lauri when he didnt see that punch coming so who knows

    I'm not saying McCloskey did anything wrong (he definitely didn't) but I could knock out a professional boxer if he wasn't looking! It wasn't like Lauri was caught by a shot he never saw coming due to the skill of McCloskey, he just genuinely wasn't looking!

    all of a sudden khan has granite chin since he took maidanas shots
    he crippled him with that body shot probably sucked the life out of him for the remainder of the fight
    mccloskey os not feather fisted
    defo has the power to hurt khan and this will be his only shot to beat khan in my view
    he certainly wont outbox him what with khans handspeed
    just hope mcccloskey doesnt get sparked early because i dont think his reflexis are as fast as he thinks himself

    thats the thing mccloskeys coming on to 31/32 he's relied on reflexes against windmill punchers but when he keeps his hands below his waist against the fast fists of khan that may prove to be his undoing, i have an open mind about this fight and feel paul has a shot at upsetting khan. Maybe if he proves himself he can get a shot at My Man Bradley in that fight i give him zero chance of success

    Can is very much the key word in your first sentance and i'll expand. McCloskey can beat Khan if Amir undertrains and completly underestimates him. You mention Prescott as a measuring bar but fail to mention the fact the fight took place proir to a hell of allot of integral changes in Khans camp. At least provide a breakdown of how McCloskey will go about unravelling Khan.:good

    Oh come'on does Khan have to take punches from a heavyweight to prove his chin isnt at least as bad as first thought?

    he defo saw that shot that put him down
    he clenches himself preparing for the punch before it comes as you can see if you pause the video
    go to 2.35 granted hes not fully defendin himself but he defo saw that punch comin

    see 2:35 of the above video for how I see him beating Khan :good

    Khans improved, no doubt about that, but if you look at his face after the Maliggnagi fght and the Maidana fight and at him being wobbled seriously by a tired and hurt Maidana, its obvious that hes not suddenly granite chinned or any form of defensive wizard....he can still be hit and still be beat...can McCloskeay do it?...we'll hopefully find out in April!
