The Paul McCloskey choo choo train.

He's a class down from Kotelnik and Malignaggi.

 

On paper, sure. In skills? hmm I'm not so sure. Only seen this one fight with him, so I wont hype him too much.. But he's got an interesting style, and I'd really like to see him up against a world level contender.

 

Choo Choo

 

Hope he gets a world title shot soon. Time isn't on his side.

 

I know im Irish so ill try not to be too biased. I think Brickhaus is way off the mark, ATM he is most definitely better than Paulie and could beat Kotelnik. Do I think he can beat the best in the division? No, not really, but he has the style to give anyone trouble. Id probably give him a 65/35 or 70/30 chance against them but wouldnt write him off completely.

Choo Choo!

 

he deserves a title shot within the next year go on paul!!!

 

If he keeps winning , then why not , sort of Magee level , when he fought, and he gave future world champ Hatton all he could handle.

 

He's very smart, fast , hits sharply eneough to hurt anyone, a fantastic boxer... can he go the next level? i'm not sure but if he can then make that leap his skills are such that he would be a superstar champ.

 

He's pretty good. Would make Khan look bad early but would get stopped.

 

Hes an awesome talent i think he gives Khan his sternest test and pushes him harder than his last few opponents for sure, hes better than Malignaggi/Kotelnik/Salita

derailment imminent

 

McCloskey is ready for Malignaggi/Urango/Olusegen. Not any of the top 5 though.
