Khan Looking To Face Paul McCloskey Next!

im not a brit, im just not a ignorant ***** who cant consider a fighter a legit talent until they have fought on American TV!

You failed to address my point about the WBC, WBA and Ring all considering him Top 10

You said hes domestic level - yet hes beaten everyone at domestic level convincingly - so where does he go?


lol "we have proved you wrong" - bull**** - you simply blindly support a great great fighter and refuse to aknowlegdge anything negative about him!


watch more boxing? have you ever seen him fight!?

its funny that you clearly, outside of mainstream media fighting - or technically analysing a fight - know basically nothing about a sport you seem to spend an appalling amount of time talking about!


PS -Using those smiley faces does not, increase the logic or legitimacy of your argument!

 

But mate, it’s not a case of Sky preferring a Khan-McCkloskey fight over a Klit-Haye one. Instead it’s to do with scheduling and filling slots. Khan and GBP put their name down for April and two more fights in 2011, ages ago. Sky cannot then, months later, go back to GBP and say “sorry, but we’re going to have to give your date to someone else”. Consideration needs to be given to Khan and GBP who have plans of fighting 3 times this year.

 

I suppose you'd know all about that Boom-Boom, after what happened to Rey 'Boom-Boom' Bautista .

McCloskey isn't domestic class however. At worst he is fringe World level, which with the level Khan is at we may see a very one sided fight. But McCloskey deserves his top 10 ranking. He'd easily beat the interim WBA champion at the weight above(who already avoided a fight with McCloskey) and he's levels above Dmitry Salita.

The European belt is far and away the best title out there after the World belts(at least from Featherweight up).

 

:deal Its as simple as that. Wont pay for it myself

 

But consideration needs to be given to the fact that Wlad vs Haye is the only heavyweight fight in the world thats worth a toss and it took this long to make they should have taken it when they could becasue now it may never happen. Haye is with Goldenboy too remember.

The Khan fight is just a filler until Bradley is finished with Alexander

 

:yep - pwned

 

I agree - there is certainly more to it than it being a simple choice. However, we are being served up khan vs a good prospect instead of the heavy weight extravaganza people want.

Also.. golden boy i believe will be promoting Hayes side of the promotion, couldn't they just speak to khan and ask him to reschedule? Hopeful thinkingatsch

 

Im not going to debate with you Irish folk cause I understand why you guys want this fight to happen.

But lets be honest here, if Paul was 22(12)-

)-0 ?

Even Khan fans are admitting the huge pay cut Khan will be taking for this fight compared to his purse from his last 2-3 fights. He targets Peterson first and Mcloskey is his 2nd option...what happens if Mcloskey prices himself out too who is Khan's 3rd option....Juan Diaz???

 

mckloskey by ko

 

atsch
and you're implying im ignorant especially since you just demonized me for being a Pacquiao fan in your previous post. Way to contradict yourself there chump.

Rankings dont make a fighter, just like a belt doesnt make a fighter either. If you watched more boxing you'd know that.

You missed the entire point. This is not about Mcloskey's trying to prove himself at the top level, its about Khan's choice to fight someone who has been no where close to fighting near the top level.

Thats not true, you're just proving your ignorance by stereotyping all Pacfans as having blind love for him and WTF does this have to do with Pacquiao you obviously sound more obsessed with him than his fans are.

Yes

The corn in my **** knows more about boxing than you and your daddy combined.

:verysad

 

Boom Boom - I am simply saying that casting McCloskey as a low level fighter and compeltely off world level is wrong

Im in work and dont have the time or desire to argue childishly about this - we can agree to disagree. McCloskey is a good fringe world level fighter - to ignore the rankings of two world title bodies and an independant respected magazine imo is foolish and leads me to think you are simply approaching this in a dogmatic manner and have made up your mind without considering it.

He is not a disgraceful opponent for Khan, far from it - how can a fighter ever get to world level without 1st fighting for the 1st time at world level?

To dismiss him i think is wrong.

Peace

 

When you're a top 5 superstar in the sport and a huge fight is in the wings (winner of Bradley/Alexander) you dont hurry to make fights like these.
I also cannot understand the hypocrisy of some of you fans legitimizing the bodied sanctions then cry corruption when they do something you all dont like.

Go ahead and run away Im at work too atm also to keep in mind dont throw stones in glass houses next time you want to start a debate and be ignorant to others opinions.

 

pal, anyone whom reads our debate will clearly see that you failed to address my points - selectivly took things i said out of context and raised points that dont even make sense - contradicting yourself

We will have to wait and see what happens wont we?

18,000 posts and blindly following some one (a *******?) - go watch some sparring, go train yourself, get a life off a boxing website - basically open your eyes to the world beyond the reach of your nose

 

If Paul is 22(12)-1 the fight probably wouldn't be happening, why ?........well it would mean Paul would have lost somewhere at domestic or European level and thus wouldn't be a legitimate opponent(which imo he is) at World title level. Unless the loss was very early in his career, in which case it still probably would go ahead.

If he was 22-(20)-0 they may be slightly more hesitant to pick McCloskey as an opponent, but I don't think he'd be ruled out completely. Afterall Paul can whack pretty hard despite only having 12 knockouts, hence his last 5 fights(all title fights) have ended in stoppage victory.

It's extremely unlikely this fight would break down over pay issues, even a purse way down on the £200,000 they offered Peterson would be the highest of McCloskey's career. There's two reasons I could see the fight not going ahead, (1) Peterson team comes back and says they'll take 200,000, (2) HBO reject McCloskey as an opponent. HBO won't be paying nearly as much for this fight as the ones Khan has had in America, but their money is still an important issue so Khan's team will want an opponent that satisfies them.

This is a much better fight than you believe and it certainly is no Khan vs Salita.

 

Boom_Boom your argument is just full of **** atsch. I Mean really.. atsch!
