    Any particular reason you hope he gets "destroyed"....and your reasoning for calling him a "*"?

    again....what is your reasoning?
    I dont understand such animosity.We all have our favourites and those we dont like but i have never heard Khan be anything other than respectful to almost every boxer and topic he talks about.He is to me a very good role model for many young sports people.

    Tomorrow night around same time as Barca game.

    Khan is vastly improved, if he keeps going the way he is going he will be the best pound for pound in 2 years; so so fast and dont think McCloskey will get near him.

    But McCloskey is sooooo awkward - dont think itll be a great fight to watch and likely will end with Khan being booed out of the arena.

    Agree he is much improved, but I don't ever see him being a top pound-for-pound fighter.

    Freddie Roach has really shaped up his defensive work, and even padded-out his medium-term punch resistance - but a glass jaw is the one thing you just can't train away, and he will always have it.

    He survived against Maidana by the skin of his teeth - quite bizarre to watch, staggering about for the best part of a round half-unconscious, but with the leg strength to stay just about upright, and the basic speed to avoid the incomings.

    Against a hard-hitting opponent who realises that once you have him down you just throw caution to the winds and go all out to end it, he is always going to be one punch away from disaster.

    Khan will destroy him, his hand speed will overwhelm McCloskey.

    I can't see him ever reaching p4p king heights but he is definetely destined for the top based on where he started and where he is now. Vastly improved.

    Khan for sure and P4P little too early for all that he still has to beat McCloskey who isn't what you would call a big purse fighter.

    khan wins. doesn't go by round 5. khan will do bradley to. as someone else said, bradley is overrated. can't stand listing to khan talk just want to smack him, makes me uneasy when im lisining to him. though after his last fight he answered his critics about having a week chin because madaina is one of the hardest punchers in the division and khan took them all

    I'm not convinced. His legs are stronger now, but his chin is what it always was. He spent a lot of the 10th round on the brink of disaster - and if Maidana had done what Prescott did, and immediately wade in for the kill once he seriously rocked him, the fight would have been over.

    Khan, I think he'll win every round and knock him out before the sixth.

    This is going to be a * to get a stream for, just reading on myp2p that alot of the streamers aren't going to do it because veetle etc.. will be overloaded due to El Classico being on. If I do find a stream for this I'll post it up.

    BTW if you order this on primetime it'll cost over £17 as they charge a £2.50 reg fee to new customers.
