Good analogy, I hear ya. McCloskey does need to step up, I'm just having trouble seeing steps up, besides maybe Ajose Olusegun. Is Lenny Daws any good, maybe McCloskey needs to come to US as well?

Lenny Daws is a decent domestic fighter, but I don't think he'll get above that level. For McCloskey v Olusegun, I think it would be a horrible fight style-wise....they're both counter fighters. I think a move to the US would be beneficial, more competition and looks at different styles too.

Khan by stoppage.
Could be quite good though. Think Khan would be too strong and quick for him though. Would be funny to see all the Khan haters moaning about him fighting Murray, while conveniently forgetting they were moaning about him ducking Murray just a few years ago.![]()

A couple of years ago i would have got excited about Murray fighting Khan but i think Khan has improved too much that he would stop Murray.
I also read that Warren has made a massive offer for Brook to fight Khan i doubt that'll happen though. I think Khan would beat Brook but i think he will fight someone more recognisable to fans in America even if the fight is in the UK.
Have not been too impressed with Brooks last 2 performances.

If Khan intends to fight in the UK then this is a good fight for him.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
That was then this is now, its like saying if James De Gale become a world champion in 2 years. And possibly the boxing fans 2 years before wanted to see him take on good domestic fighter.
They obviously wouldn't feel the same now he's world champion, and he's moved on from the domestic level.
Whats wrong with taking on Bradley/Alexander winner, or Ortiz, Peterson, or even Mabuza who upset Kendall Holt.
I see this taking a step backward for Amir Khan, John Murray is one dimensional and nothing special. Plus he's a Lightweight and he'd have to move up. Stick to fighters in your own weightclass, there's plenty too choose from there.

What i mean is that at that time Amir Khan had fought nobody worth noting really, John Murray "at that time" would of been a decent step up for Amir Khan.
But Amir Khan has moved on from the domestic scene, he's a world champ now. And has been speaking of fighting Floyd Mayweather Jr in 2 years.
So he should move on from the domestic scene, he's been there down that. Plus John Murray is a Lightweight.
Amir Khan made a good step up with Marcos Maidana. But he has to get keep continuing with that, as i said all the names above would be ok. Even Zab Judah would be better, even though he's more of a gatekeeper now. He still got the skill's and a style to at least trouble Amir Khan somewhat.
And yes Amir Khan would make John Murray look silly, John Murray just walk's forward in a straight line. With no plan b and he uses no angles and he don't switch up, hell if he struggled with Youssef Al Hamidi's movement. He stands no chance what so ever.
Id like to see it for murray
he deserves it, he hasd had a good carear always value for money without ever really getting the recognition
he deserves the payday and the posibilities after if he does well
i think Murray could have a good crack at a world title but maybe not aginst khan
