Comments Thread For: Amir Khan: Paul McCloskey Likely, Peterson is Out!

[Shadows]

I have this feeling that it is a stay busy fight for Judah if Judah wins the IBF.

And, I also have a feeling that HBO will carry it as well.

What?

You mean you think they'll have Judah and McCloskey fight?

My bad, didn't word it right.

No that after McCloskey he will fight Judah if Judah wins. I just have that feeling.

this is a step backwards for khan. horrible fight. atleast fight that kelly brook guy.

After the Maidana fight I have to say that the McCloskey fight is a real let down. Peterson would have been a much more interesting fight. Katsidis would have been good but this is a disapointment. There have to be better fights out there right now for Khan than this. This fight feels Salitaish.

Hes at 147,and is overrated anyway,plus warren wants too protect him (typical warren)

I would have preferred peterson or even judah,but hes busy and khan has too fight someone

in reality judah is a stay busy fight but in today's twisted boxing world they will hype that up as some legit super fight.

really!! why is no'one giving McCloskey a chance. i personally have been wanting this fight fight for the past few years. One of these days McCloskey may make it to the p4p list. he has the potential to become the greatest Irish boxer of all time if he does what is asked of him rather than getting into macho brawls to please the fans. the man is highly skilled and gifted with some of the best reflexes and timing in boxing. Khan may regret taking this 'easy fight'

I think GBP thought that the risk did not match the reward..Peterson is a very dangerous fight for Khan based on styles,I believe Khan's people(after careful thought)did not want to take this dangerous fight..I really doubt Peterson would price himself out,I really want to know the numbers..

Damn I was really looking forward to this fight..

Wow...do people not realise this is a tune up fight?

McCloskey is a decent fighter also.

Petersen wouldve been better. However last two fights have been a loss and a draw yet he thinks hes gonna make big money?

Maybe give Arum a call...

UK fans, the US population is 5x that of the UK and has HBO which needs to want the fight. Khan has to fight people that appeal to ALL his fans not some. So since the UK supports him regardless he needs to fight someone we care about.

For a stay busy fight in the UK(which I think is a great idea) it should be someone like Prescott since Judah is busy.
