    I love Khans style and dont know much about Salita, but his record seems good. Is it the typical British vs Americans fight...or are there any believers from the U.S. that Khan will win?

    Is there anybody out there, regardless of nationality, who DOESN'T think Khan will win? It's a gimme for Khan's first defense.

    Of course Khan will win. He wouldn't have taken the fight otherwise.

    Salita has a padded record. He isnt that good in any one area. His defense is very leaky and he isnt a smooth fighter by any stretch of the imagination. He is like a less strong carl Froch skill wise (not style wise)

    Khan should have no problem with him. Khan will be much improved now that he trains out of the USA. Khan is becoming an American fighter.

    I never seen Salita fight before until I youtubed it just now. He got some skills.

    Khan has a bright future as long as he steers clear of big punchers.

    Salita fights like a poor man's Kotelnik, plus Khan is a huge step up in class for him. This should be very easy for Khan.

    I'm not a fan,but Khan is a decent fighter.Trouble is he'll come unstuck against any of the true world class fighters at the weight.He's a Warren fighter so sure as eggs is eggs it'll be "no risk" and "big hype".Salita's no risk to Khan and real boxing fans know this.

    Knocked down by Robert Frankel in round 1 of their fight and twice by some other dude. Oh, and I forgot to mention, they have 10 & 7% KO ratio's respectively. Enough said. I have no idea how the guy became the WBA #1. Khan should win this easily.
