    Paul McCloskey looks good

    His uppercut looks pretty solid and regular. His movement is pretty slick. His feet look good. I don't believe some of the badmouthing of this fighter when you see him.

    Khan should be careful, this could wind up JUST like Prescott again and this kid is pretty dangerous. You don't get a top ten rating fighting out of EIRE for nothing. Its hard work, especially when most people calling htemselves Irish are based out of the USA.

      He is most certainly more of a threat to Khan than Victor Ortiz will ever be.

          That looks good because he is doing that against mediocre opposition. We have never seen him against good opposition. Will he do that against world class guys? I'd be very skeptical of any guy that goes 11 rounds with Lauri. Witter treated Lauri like he should be treated by a fighter on the world level. Keeping your hands low like that is not a good idea against one of the fastest guys in the world.

          Lets see what he brings.......

            Mediocre opposition?

            Are you sure you are not describing Julio César Chávez Jr?

                  They offered Peterson 300k.

                  He turned it down. 300k for a world title fight and you turn it down?

                  Your second world title fight at 27 years old for 300k?

                  You turn that down?

                  Peterson is probably at the peak of his boxing ability right now and only seeded 8th and McCloskey is 10th and over the hill 31.

                  McCloskey is also 2nd seed in the UK so he makes a bigger draw in the UK than Peterson. A better decision for Team Khan, people were getting on my back saying Khan was duckign McCloskey, especially when the talk about Junior Witter came out. He has a following and thats money in the bank right there. Would be ****** to pay over the odds for a similar level of fighter that has no following in the UK.

                  If it was Prescott I would be happier but its obvious Peterson was their first choice, unless he wanted to ask ****** money.

                  Guys like Prescott, Guzman and even Witter would have all been better draws than Peterson and they were willing to give him 300k and he gave it up. For what? A shot at Devon?

                  McCloskey is ABOVE Peterson on the WBA and WBC Rankings. Khan doesn't even register on the WBC rankings.

                  The Bradley fight has to happen sometime soon but Peterson?

                  He's hardly a mandatory, or a serious draw so he doesn't deserve ****** money. He should take the best he can get. His team didn't play his cards right.

                    Yeah yeah he ain't all that but I say he's better than Peterson.
