    Good fight to make, would be a stinker to watch though.

    As long as they try to beat the **** out of each other for 12 rounds I'd be up for it...quite liked Ajose against Chebah when it finally happened

    His name was being mentioned by McCloskey and Breen about 18 months ago, I can't remember all the details but I think the talks might have been advanced but it fell through for some reason...?

    Someone else might be able to clarify..

    Work in progress at 32 years of age? If anything, I would say he's on the decline.

    The only problem with that being that Theophane, despite being a solid domestic fighter, is about as marketable as a ***** helmet grater.

    Yes but they have titles and/or attractive rankings.

    You've already nailed every fighter that he should face. If I was a member of Team McCloskey my order of preference would be.

    1. Alberto Mosquera,

    2. Brunet Zamora,

    3. Ajose Olusegun,

    4. Breidis Prescott,

    5. Marcos Maidana

    Looks like Matchroom don't have the money to tempt Maidana over. It's a pity really as Eddie publicly promised McCloskey a world title fight after the Prescott fight.

    Just wondering - as the Prescott fight was an official world title eliminator is Maidana obliged to fight McCloskey and does the bout go to purse bids if a deal can't be reached between the two parties?
