    Now who's being a dickhead..... You're admitting it yourself, McCloskey's tactics apparently were to happily give up the first 8 or 9 rounds and then K.O. Khan in the championship rounds after Khan supposedly gasses? Paul said Khan had gassed after two rounds so why didn't he execute his plan earlier?

    Really, what stupid ****ing tactics since any knowledgable boxing fan would know that Khan under Roach, has not had any stamina issues. Face it, McCloskey would have lost by shut-out if the fight had gone 12 rounds. As for Khan not looking very good, he looked awful but then again so would most fighters against an opponent with no interest in throwing punches back.

    I am worried by Khan though, he's not developing and I beginning to have my doubts that he ever will....

    yeah your right, Paul should of went in there to try outpoint his quicker, more skilled and rangier opponent round after round. That would of been much much better.

    khan's interview was **** and very poor, what more did you expect from a sinmple man like that?

    What i did look back this fight was Amir was doing the landing; paul was heading downwards everytime resulting into a clinch or a clash o heads.

    Khan looked poor for his capability esspecially with the footwork or so.

    and for the folks in here or out there bigging up their boy must be a blind bat! Paul hardly did **** all..
    what a let down!

    I stand by my word..

    Bradley gets through Khan!

    The difference being that at least most McCloskey understand this as boxing bollocks talk and realise his true limitations, whereas a lot of Khan fans see him as the second coming....

    But atleast he had to show something, he didnt do fck all apart from a really bad break dance act. Infact in the final round he got clocked doing that stupid showboating.

    He was nothing short of a disgrace in there, and he's gotta seriously question what he wants from the sport if he thinks that kind of effort is acceptable in a world title fight.

    He came across the worst Amir Khan imaginable, yet landed at most one clean shot.

    Khan's biggest achilles heel? Those parasites & cowboys (sorry, indians) that make up his management team.

    what should his tactics have been cos the ones he was using were not working and would in all likleyhood not have worked as khan was not getting tired whatever mccloskey says.

    He should have at least tried to punch Kahn though it's meant to be a fight.
