The problem is that he's a bitter hypocrite. If McCloskey's name was mentioned anywhere near a big fight again, you bet he'd talk up his chances of winning. Khan, like any other fighter would do anything for a shot at the cash cow and p4p king. I agree that Khan probably needs a big win before a Mayweather fight, but McCloskey saying the fight is a joke is worthy of criticism. He should concentrate on trying to salvage what's left of his career instead of focusing on a guy who has bettered his every achievement and then some.


It's funny because it's McCloskey saying it, but it doesn't make it any less true. For whatever it's worth, McCloskey isn't saying "it should be me", which is the usual follow-up to comments like McCloskey made. McCloskey knows he ain't shit. But he might feel some resentment toward Khan and this is his way of getting it out. So two things: McCloskey sounds like a bitter fool, and Khan really isn't deserving of a shot at Mayweather at this time.
