    Fight to determine who is the best Jewish boxer;). Lets say they could meet at 150. I think the bigger man, Yuri, dominates the fight and takes it easily by decision. Salita is solid and has an impressive record -1 loss in 30 fights or so, but it's mostly weak competition.

    Best jewish fighter?
    That's like asking who is the best mexican basketball player.

    LOL! Or even the best Nigerian swimmer!

    Salita is rubbish! I would say a KO for Yuri but he could blast a hole in a wet paper bag... he is a good boxer though.

    Admittedly, boxing is not too popular amongst the Jewish-American population but there are some Jewish boxers, previously Zab Judah, now these two ;) Yes Salita was no match for Khan, but Khan whether you like him or not, is a very good boxer, it was too big step for Salita. He may still come back and prove himself to be a decent fighter.

    A rather impractical matchup...If it did happen though, I think Foreman would win a wide decision or a late stoppage. Salita has been very carefully managed throughout his career. Salita has a shaky chin and lacks strong recovery skills, he also struggles to adapt when he is forced to fight outside of his gameplan. Foreman's style would trouble him all night.
