    anybody else hear khan talking on talksport? when mentioning opponents for his fight in april he mentioned peterson and ortiz and after them he mentioned it could be paul mcloskey.

    i think the mcloskey fight would be an interesting one and would make good business sense for a fight over in britain.

    if this fight happens then who wins and how?

    McCloskey would be a good ENG Vs IRE fight. It would get a lot of attention.

    mcloskey is awkward and can punch quite hard. this would be a hard nights work for khan and he could lose

    Best we can hope for considering all the top 140 fighters are tied up.

    Ok the important stuff...did he say anything about Jordan?


    And McCloskey would be a great fight to make for us Brits.

    I mentioned McCloskey when people started asking who Khan would face next if he couldn't get Ortiz or Peterson and some thought it was a stupid suggestion, some wanted Prescott instead.

    dosent make sense on the world stage , whilst this is a keep busy fight and a line your pockets fight , he still needs to keep hbo and the yankiedoodles on the hook for the 140 showdown late 2011

    but with the irish contingent in america it will sell over there too. but to be honest i think this fight could be about keeping in touch with british fans

    The way Khan and McCloskey are acting on Twitter, it seems a strong possibility.

    Khan is all wrong for McCloskey.

    McCloskey's reflexes are slower than Khan's hands.

    Khan would dominate him and eventually the ref would step in just like the Malinaggi fight, except it would be earlier.

    one of those fights i want to see but i dont want to see , because although paul has great reflexes he will be going in with the fastest in the business in khan , he shouldnt take it and hope the wbc becomes vacant
