    Default Anyone Heard Of Paul McCloskey

    Never seen him fight but i was just looking at the Jr Welterweight rankings, and see his name and see he was British. I was just wondering has he got a chance at Amir Khan or any of the title holders in the future ? the only problem is that he's a late starter and he's already 30.

    He's alright. Probably European/WBU calibre. Probably a little better but not much better than the likes of Barnes/Lynes/Rees/Mutley.

    Did you see the Lynes fight?

    He made Lynes look like a complete mug. He's much better than those guys.

    No it's the one fight i didn't see. I'll take your word for it. He's still not a fighter i could ever imagine being a world champion.

    I don't rate him that much he needs to step it up a bit but he will never be world level mind you if Gavin Rees can win a World title hope for anyone.

    Don't know how people can say that they don't rate him. He'll be a world champ. I'd have no doubt he'd beat khan. He's Irish by the way, not british.

    Always surprises me how you Brit guys don't even follow Brit boxing. McCloskey's last 5 or 6 fights have been on Sky or rte/internet.

    He doesn't get hit so his age is no problem.

    Without the help of Saddoboxing I prob wouldn't have known or cared about McCloskey.

    Yes, I have heard of the man. I know the names of many UK fighters thanks to the prediction contest and the numerous citizens of that country who post here.

    I'm actually surprised that you have never heard of him.

    I only watch British boxing on ITV and ETC, i don't pay for any channels that show other fights and ETC. And most of the time its hard to follow British boxing over here, especially when the paper is flooded with football, and hardly anything about boxing. And even on the news they only ever talk about the big fights over here.

    Yeah i think in the U.S you have about 3 or 4 networks that show Boxing on a regular basis.

    We have one free to watch network (ITV) and Sky Sports which basically costs you in excess of £40 to subscribe to.

    The fight scene is vast but the coverage isn't.... It's funny though, i dont even recall reading to much about McClosky in the Boxing Magazines over here
