    Honest question.

    Some ppl are trying to say Salka is a legit contender, and Ive looked up 3 of his fights and see no power, no defense, decent but not above average footwork. Same goes for handspeed. Same goes for chin.

    This guy is a step down from 40 y/o Eric Morales and nobody wanted to see that one either.

    So, if Salka somehow pulls it off, freak injury, cut, or pulls an Algeri and Danny takes a disputed robbery loss, does Salka break into the top 5 at LWW, or does he still loom just outside the top 25.:think

    He'd be #1 at 140. It would be akin to when Rahman upset Lewis. I wouldn't consider Salka the best fighter in the division, but he'd have to be recognized as the authentic champion.

    Dude would be the champ, end of story.

    If Garcia weren't the champ at 140 (even though it should be Herrera) and merely a beltholder, then there could be some debate. Officially though, Garcia's the man, and Salka gets his spot if he wins.

    Ya IF he wins he gets 2 belts and the #1 spot at 140....p4p? That I donno...I'd have to say no to that. If he was unbeaten then maybe but I'd so no to p4p but numerous u no at 140

    FTR......the orgs have not approved this as a title fight:nono. Just like Mathysee vs Peterson, this fight with not be for the titles.:yep

    and while Danny could potentially lose the fight, his titles will remain his, and he will still be the Champion.:rofl

    Matthysse vs Peterson was at 141 lbs Catch weight which is why there was no titles up for grabs.

    Well, both of the sanctioning bodies for Danny's titles refuse to give Salka a top 15 ranking since he's not in eithers top 40.

    I forgot about the CW Peterson/Mathysee fight.....good shout.:thumbsup
