Comments Thread For: McCloskey: Khan, He's English and I'm Irish, Let's Do It!

[Hard Boiled]

What does Khan have to do with McCloskey " He's English and I'm Irish" wtf does that have to anything.

Just because he lives closer to you than Alexander or Bradley doesnt mean you are entitled to some kind of showdown. McCloskey is like 33 years old and should be looking to hang up the gloves soon.

I dont see the connection between Khan and McCloskey, Looks like McCloskey just wants a payday.

your right Khan has nothing to do with McCloskey, and Khan beats McCloskey in my opinion. My point is McCloskey deserves a shot a Ortiz more than Kotelnik. He is 31 by the way. McCloskey Ortiz in mind my is a really interesting fight

if u listen to the interview, he said something along the lines of not rushing into anything, talking it over with his people. He was asked what was next he said what comes after wnning british and euro titles, a world title. He mentioned Khan, Bradley and Alexander, and was then asked about Khan by the interviewer so he said he was the one he wanted most (cant remember it word for word, but something along those lines)
Initially he was giving the impression he wanted a couple more fights before a title shot. Then he kind of (not even a real call out) called out ALL of the belt holders.

course he wants a payday, and a world title. Khan is the one out of the 3 titlists that give him the best chance at both.

he needs to fight one of the top ten guys in the division before he'll be recognised to fight the likes of Khan and Bradley. If he fights another ****** like Morrison again, its a disgrace.

He needs to get a mandatory position, and the WBC is where hes ranked the highest at #4. He needs to get one of the guys above him and beat them to force a title shot.

what he really needs is big names on his CV. murray/mitchall etc; he's gotta start callnig them out every week and get some media attention

murray and mitchell are lightweights, McCloskey is a light welter.

absolutley no idea tbh. The way McCloskey fights with his hands down and his chin out is gonna lead to him being tagged hard by the faster guys, which Ortiz is. If he can take the shots and adjust to make Ortiz miss hes got a good chance. He wont bash Ortiz about like Maidana did thats for sure, its a very different fight.

His southpaw stance (not sure but dont think hes fought many southpaws) and goot footwork will give him problems. If Ortiz starts getting outboxed he might not mentally be able to cope with it and get wild, which is perfect for Paul.

Ill wait and see how Kotelnik does against him. I think he can beat Kotelnik, and gets smoked by Khan.
