People should stop comparing McCloskey with Salita

[Dirk Diggler UK]

Did you know Mcklowskey before this?

Hvae you seen any of his fights before Amir?

I had and had pretty high hopes for him. His career has stalled a bit recently but he deserves his shot. Its a shame its against Khan because i think its a bad style match for him.

doesn't matter if mccloskey is or is not like salita... the point is this is a crappy fight that shouldn't be PPV and HBO should not be paying for this bull*****.

Well 1's a Irish bum & the other is a ***ish bum, so you can compare them if somebody wanted too.

[The Hammer]

I agree.

McCloskey is a decent fringe contender, while Salita was an absolute fraud and a bum.

[Mast]

Hes rated top ten by the ring.

There isnt anyone else avaliable for Khan to fight whos better. Pieterson priced himself out.

[Chief2ndzOnly!]

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

Had you seen any of his fights before Bradley?

Cant speak for anybody in Europe, but here in America we knew of Peterson and his brother long before Khan was KO'd by Prescott. They both used to get regular air time on WNF and FNF on ESPN. Their story is well known here.

McCloskey has been on TV multiple times aswell. Sky Sports broadcast a couple of his fights.

Peterson should have accepted the 300K offer then.

[Evil Abed]

Please correct me if I'm wrong but every article I've read so far prior to the Khan-Salita fight, had Salita ranked in the top 5 or 10 at JWW.

In fact this is a qoute from an interview with Salita.

Salita: I am ranked number 1 in the world right now. I am the mandatory challenger to fight Amir Khan.

Who is Amir Khan?

He’s an Olympic silver medalist. He’s from England. He’s of Pakistani decent. And he is the champion right now.

So the champ isn’t ranked?

No. The champion is above the rankings. The challengers are ranked.

Peterson should have accepted the 300K offer then.

I completely agree. That was a good price for him, and his biggest to date from my understanding. He should've taken it. I think it was more so his team priced him out and not so much Peterson himself. But either way it was for a title, and he should've taken it.
