    People should stop comparing McCloskey with Salita

    Stop disrespecting McCloskey by saying that he is another Salita. Salita is nowhere near as good as McCloskey. Salita is a true bum. I said this on the day Amir signed to fight Salita, the day of the Khan-Salita fight and the day after Amir beat Salita.

    McCloskley on the other hand is ranked #10 by The Ring and is in the top 10 of most world rankings. McCloskey is ranked #10 by BoxRec while Salita was ranked #54 when Amir fought him. That alone should tell you what's up.

    Yes, Amir should have little problems with McCloskey but that doesn't mean McCloskey is a walk-in-the-park. McCloskey has got genuine skills and has an akward southpaw style what good give Amir a few problems. He is also tough as nails so don't expect Amir to blow him away Salita-style.

    With that said. Khan by 8th round TKO.

    Salita isnt even really a bum. He's kinda ***** and worse than McCloskey but he was the mandatory.

    McCloskey is a good boxer. There is a chance that Khan could make him look ***** but he'd do well against other top fighters i think

      remember when people were saying that Kotelnik was a bum when Amir beat him? Despite Kotelnik losing a very close fight against Witter and beating the likes of M'Baye and Maidana.

      Their opinion changed quikly after Kotelnik beat Alexander.

        I have absolutely no idea why the WBA made Salita Amir's mandatory? Was it because he was a Zionist? .

          Khan doesn't fight bums, he just makes them look that way.

              Whilst I totally agree with you...this is pointless. It will only be when Mccloskey does well against another established fighter that the americans will realise he is a good fighter. I totally agree with the kotelnik comparison.

              If khan lights him up (which I think he will) he will get no credit...if he struggles in patches people will **** on him and say he is not ready for bradley or 147. When it comes to khan the haters will never rest...I have come to realise.

                  because salita was mildly popular and even though he couldn't fight a lick and never beat anyone that goes a long way in boxing.

                    No. Did you know about Peterson before Bradley fought him?

                    Had you seen any of his fights before Bradley?
