    I really don't rate McCloskey at all I'm afraid.

    For me there would only be one winner and I don't even think it will a particularly competitive fight.

    He was completely exposed by Chop Chop, I'm not taking anyhting away from Corley but anyone who has followed him will acknowlege that his best days are some way behind him.

    Even with what he has left he completely schooled McCloskey.

    It'll be fun to watch though, McCloskey is completely delusional.

    I bet you Ajose Olusegun would take the fight.

    :deal:lol: I know! To hear him talk you would think he has never genuinely lost, confidence is one thing but being delusional is quite different.

    Olusegun would be a good shout, he could make it things very interesting.

    Yep, taled a great fight in the build up to Khan, then never bothered trying to throw a punch, had to rely on a hometown robbery to get a decision over Breidis Prescott and then got took apart and knocked out by a journeyman.

    Jones would make light work of him imo and make him do the Chop Chop Dance again. :yep

    I bet Olusegun would take that fight as well if it was offered to him, he seems that sort of person.

    He's probably still in hospital after that beating he took from Matthysse.

    He's the future of British boxing though, so it's ok.

    I really don't have a problem with Hearn. I just can't stand the way some posters make out that he's somehow a superior breed of promoter when he's the exact same as every other promoter.

    You just can't get to grips with this new age promoting.

    Not his fault Murray failed a medical or that Purdy has a virus.

    The card was good, Franks on the 15th was never good to begin with.

    Ah, so new age = massively disappointing?

    It's not always been Frank's fault when a big card has come apart. But he gets eviscerated for it, yet Hearn gets a pass, despite putting on generally mediocre cards.

    Over the last two years who do you think has put on the best cards overall?
