Rubbish, there are better fighters in that list than McCloskey.

bradley and alexeanda are boring overated fighters who couldent live with khans speed, and apart from brook who isnt even european class yet the others are light weights, im sorry but McCloskey is the best from a bad bunch !

No he isn't, Alexander and Bradley are both superior boxers.

I'd like to see him fight John Murray, then take on the winner of Bradley/Alexander.

I pick Katsidis cos I'd watch him vs anyone...not sure Khan will fancy another war though after Maidana, wouldn't blame him either

Bradley & Alexander over-rated?

Best i not waste my time on this thread any longer ...

Judah

to start with there fighting each other so why have them on the list ? i believe there good fighters who will be in a good match with each other but there not great ! they havent fought any of the elite fighters from light weight to light welter, i mean a marquez a mosley a manny a floyd a cotto a margarito a barrera, there records remind me of ricky hattons untill he met floyd, padded and yes kosta was way past his best, and they dont sell many tickets, why because they are not that exciting, khan is far to good for anyone at 140/147 with the exception of manny and floyd, but could have good fights with many others, as for john murray please, his a lightweight who wouldent last 5 rounds with khan i promise you, if your that bothered about murray give him a 50 50 fight with mitchell or katsidis. time will prove my point.

im not saying mccloskey has neither khan himself but they are fighting each other so its abit pointless having them on there, my last post was to explain why i think there over rated.

Nobody's saying they're near the top of the P4P tree but they are at the very top of their division, something McCloskey isn't. They are both attempting to get a big name on their respective records by taking each other on.

I do agree it's a bit pointless having them on the list, though.

John Murray

I think most people realise Khan is going to fight someone before the winner of that fight.

im only joking, however it is interesting there going for bradley though and not alexanda

Why? They fight next week. It could be Khan's next fight, if he can't get anyone else.

He has a contractual obligation to Sky to fight in March. I can't see Bradley or Alexander fighting then.

I think McCloskey would go past five, the joke part is you suggesting that Bradley and Alexander wouldn't be able to do the same. Not only would they go past five, they woulld each have a chance to win.

its mccloskey for me,the guy is a talented boxer who would make an interesting fight with khan although khan would be the favourite,as for saying bradley and alexander are overrated thats completely ludicrous!Both are very skilled fighters and the best in the division aside from khan.

in my opinion they are over rated fighters, i think Amir Khan or Paul McCloskey would beat the pair of them ! someone said earlier "not only do i think they would go past 5 rounds but i think they would have a chance to win too" for god sake there world champions of course they should have a chance to win, i havent once said there bad boxers i have just said in my opinion they are over rated, i think McCloskey is number 9 in the division and i honestly feel he would beat both of them !

You believe they would both get stopped in 5 rounds or less. To me, it doesn't sound like you think they have a chance to win. If Malignaggi, Kotelnik, and Maidana could get into the late rounds, I don't see why either guy couldn't get past 5 with Khan. Everytime I have Bradley/Alexander fight, they have shown me far more ability than McCloskey has and they have been doing that against world class opponents. McCloskey hasn't even moved past Euro level, so it's hard for me to see what you're basing your opinion on. He even looked poor against Lauri, who is nowhere near world class.

khan is improving rapidly with every fight, it nearly could of been over early against maidana but they showed heart as much as each other, i still believe bradley and alexandas heart and chin are untested, and as far as McCloskey goes, sometimes you just get an instinct, my opinion doesnt have to be based on anything, just like i know frankie gavin will go all the way too. like i said before, time will prove my point !

Bradley is the best at the weight and would easily be Khan's toughest test, but before him I'd like to him box Murray or Judah.

To say Bradley is untested in any way is bollocks. His resume since beating Witter is very impressive.

brandon rios anyone.
