    Hasn't fought since September, turned down a fight in January with Lucas Matthysse and at 33/34 is hardly getting any younger is he, he's been out of the ring for nearly 8 months and has no opponent lined up or anything.

    He retired and not told anybody?

    Hopefully...

    No I don't know but Paul isn't very well liked on here by fans.
     
  3. Last i heard of him he left Breen and joined Checa, that was in November. Haven't heard anything since.

    Hopefully retired. If he was fighting in my back garden I would close the curtains.

    Because he would get blasted in a couple of rounds in front of 4 people in a random casino

    as opposed to getting knocked out by someone who is past it and in front of a few people from your home town

    come on, he should of taken the fight, his career is as good as finished, he should of rolled the dice against matthysse especially at his old age, does he think another opportunity like that will arise when he cant beat guys 10 years past their prime

    No dont get me wrong thats probably his version, I think he should have taken it, where else is he going to go?

    The Belfast crowd have gotten bored with him and he wont be able to headline by himself imo.

    Watching paint dry is more exciting than a Paul McCloskey fight.

    He decided to watch all of his fights on DVD from start to finish and has been in hibernation since.
