Why do you think McCloskey would beat Bradley. He hasn't faced one world class opponent. I think all three champions easily beat McCloskey. Khan, Bradley, Alexander are to fast and skilled, Urango is to strong and durable.
I suspect he is basing it on McCloskey's nationality.

I could honestly see Khan beating every other champ out there at 10st - its become a rather weak division compared to a few years ago when Judah, Tszyu, Gatti, Hatton, Harris and Cotto ruled the roost.

I am so fed up of reading this sh*t, when an Irish poster predicts a win for an Irish boxer it has to be because of nationality but when a British poster overhypes even the most average of British fighters, there's not a word said
Is it anything other than Khan's nationality that makes you lot sing his praises?
Let's see if Warren risks Khan against McCloskey, I highly doubt it.

There is no valid reason that I can see for tipping McCloskey at this stage to beat any of the champs other than blind bias.
Maybe if M'Baye shows up and looks half decent, yet McCloskey does a number on him, then things might be different.
Not a massive Khan fan myself, but I admire the lad for coming back from a heavy knockout.

Why would Warren risk Khan against McCloskey when McCloskey brings nothing to the table, Warren and Khan can make more money elsewhere.

So do you go around patronizing every poster who thinks a boxer they like is world class, or do you just do it when the poster in question is Irish?

Come on lets not try and play the victim, we are all adults here.
Provide a case for him being the best in the divison is all I'm saying.
From what I have seen, I wouldn't back him against any of the current champs.

We all understand mate, don't mind Badass, he's the resident Irish fighter nuthugger. No surprise that he never answered the actual question you posed. I don't think it even registered./
