    No.
    Paul was being dominated, and had no real business being in there with Khan. Maybe if Khan gets destroyed by Bradley it could be a nice comeback fight or something, but that's about it.

      As soon as Mccloskey started opening up he would started to get hit a lot cleaner, in fact it was already happening. Khan didn't look any more tired then any of his other fights, McCloskey's camp was reaching with their theory he was running out of gas, he was missing yes, but was not under anywhere near the kind of the pressure he was against maidana and the amount of movement he had to use in that fight. Fact is khan in most of his 12 round fights hits a little bit of a flat spot around 6-7 and then gets his second wind around 8-9. McCloskey may have been able to win a couple of rounds in the middle of the fight, but khan would have finished strong. Like I said I think when mccloskey opened up he would have got hit more.

      Khan is work in progress, people need to understand this and not be so critical of him, he has the package to become a great fighter, but right now he definitely is not. He is probably 85-90% of what he can become and extracting that last 10-15% is the hard part, and that is up to khan and roach to get that out of him like he did with pacquiao. He still has plenty to learn, at this stage him and bradley is definitely a 50/50 fight.

      On a side note, I agree khan needs to go back with ariza, his legs for the first time in a while didn't look so strong, and he looked top heavy. I am hoping his team aren't going to run him into another knockout loss because their own personal need for control and greed.

            I feel bad for McCloskey, as he has been saying for a while now, that was a lifetimes work all thrown down the drain by the incompetency of the doctor - It wouldn't have bothered me if he lost more fairly on points or even by KO, but to lose in that manner just cuts.

            A rematch would be a waste of time for Khan - he has to move on to bigger things - remember this fight was only meant to be a pit-stop to see Bradley.

                I might of said YES if he was doing anything in the 6 rounds but he didn't but then again McCloskey would say he was pacing himself, he would try knock Khan out in the later rounds. Khan won every round with ease.

                  No, it was a voluntary defence and Mcloskey was dreadfully negative.

                  he can complain about Bad luck and what he was going to do in the late rounds but at the end of the day he blew his chance

                    no need for it.. turns out pretty much the same.. khan won all the rounds and dominated mccloskey the whole fight... great head movement by mccloskey though.. i like his style

                      The fight should have went on, but Khan doesn't have time to be fighting nobodies such as McCloskey. I was defiantly sad for McCloskey because he was started to get going, and things were getting interesting.

                      There shouldn't be a rematch though, this fight shouldn't have even happpend in the first place.

                      Khan has to fight Bradley next.
