    The guy is a bum who ain't scheduled a 12 round fight in his whole 30 odd career. Except for one solitary fight.

    "Oh but he is mandatory" they cry.

    Maidana was the mandary and is their 'interim' WBA world champion.

    Salita just caught a bum's break here and has fought nobody top 10 to deserve a crack.

    This is evident in everyone thinking he aint got a watery stool specimen's chance against Khan.

    Yeah I had a browse over his record and its evident that whoever handles him has matched him extremely carefully. He's obviously a prized asset for them, he hasn't fought a live body as far as I can see. I don't see him as a threat to be honest, I've watched him and he doesn't show anything special and he doesn't punch hard.

    I don't think Khan will have it so easy he's in with a decent boxer but i don't see him winning. As for Khan going on the other night about his fights explosive and fast etc...i don't see this fight being that way. It be yet another Kotelnik performance maybe with a bit more power and aggression but again minimal risk taken.

    Salita has actually got a bit of pop and is fairly creative, he's more tricky then Kotelnik.

    Salita has fast hands and a dig but he`s too easy to hit. He`s been down early in a couple of fights. However as with every Khan opponent he can win if he lands a clean one to Amir`s chin. All Khan`s fights from now on will be like the last one. Don`t get "chinned" at all costs and land the combinations only when its safe!

    I don't think Roach will continue to train Khan if he loses to Salita

    Salita has no chance.

    Im still pissed off that Salitas fight with Willie Limond fell through, cos I have no doubt Willie had the tools to beat Salita over the distance & get a big name on his resume, throwing him right back into the mix.
    It didnt happen though, & now Khans got him, & is gonna look great dismantling Salita inside 3.
    I think we are going to see a WOW performance from Khan in this fight, cos Salita is tailor made for him.

    Absolutely agree....Limond is a decent fighter (when he bothers to show us) and he would have smoked Salita over the distance no probs:deal
