    Khan will win. I think Salitas being massively underrated by some and will ask Amir some questions a lot of people will be suprised, but Khan under Roach is too good to lose to Salita at this stage.

    How do you predict Amir to win and around what rounds? Do you reckon theres any chance of a scare throughout the fight or the chance of Khan being floored this time around?

    Only seen Salita a couple of times but he does throw the rolling lead left hook pretty nicely and pretty hard, we all know Khans chin is **** and pro boxers have to take punches.
    I dont think it will be a massive upset if that left hook lands and Khans chin shatters

    Amir by late TKO for me. Salita will show some good skills without making much of an impact on Amir. Khan will have to think on his feet a bit early on but will prevail without too mch hassle.

    Khan is going to destroy Salita. The only chance of an upset is if Khan either has a massive lapse in concentration, or Salita gets very lucky with a punch. Beyond that he has no chance. His defense is a dream for Khan. For once I actually agree with Khan when he said yesterday along the lines of "My sparring partners probably caused me more problems than Salita will"

    He can only win by KO thats for sure, no way on earth this dude outboxes Khan from what I've seen. Not sure his power is very good either but as everybody knows a punchers chance against Khan is better than normal.

    Have any of you actually seen Salita fight??? judging by your comments i am not certain.....he has a very solid defense, he punches sneakily and whilst not a banger,is a solid puncher,he is also a big fella......this aint an easy fight for khan at all...

    If Salita tags Khan with that left hook he will have to dig deep... Otherwise I can see Khan boxing the ears off him...:good

    He might be a solid puncher but his defense is very porous. With Khans handspeed theres only a certain amount of rounds that he's going to be able to withstand before he starts looking in trouble and the ref waves it off

    Salita has perhaps the worst chin in history for a title contender. Khan may just KO him cold in impressive fashion.

    But of course, if Salita connected first....You can't rule anything out with Amir's chin, either.

    He isn't a title contender, he's a title holder mate.
