Don'ty agree with that mate, thought McCloskey was humble and straight up.....
He was stood in the ring bitching about Khan.

He fought like an idiot for 6 rounds, didn't even come close to winning a round, and then had the audacity to claim Khan isn't anywhere near as good as the other top fighters in the division.
All i'd say is that Khan won the 6 rounds, no doubt, but he won them for me purely by way of activity, McCloskey made him look very very silly for alot of those rounds. This on the other hand has nothing to do with the fact that McCloskey was humble and factual. Khan on the other hand, is living in a borderline fantasy land. That he is way above McCloskey at World level, McCloskey made him look like it was his first day at the gym on some occasions during those 6 rounds. I really would love to see some compubox stats for thrown and landed by Khan, bet they are all over the place.
But that can happen in Boxing. Certain styles can make certain fighters look terrible. McCloskey has a terrible style for anybody to look good against. He leans so far back that you have to reach if you are going to land anything.

Khan forced it and that's why he looked so bad, but if he had have relaxed a bit more and picked his shots, he would have been criticised for being so cautious against such a mediocre opponent.

He's obviously way above McCloskey at world level. He fought like an absolute novice by your own admission, yet he was still 6-0 up.
