    Salita whats this fighter like? I never really seen him fight. A deal with Salita and Amir Khan is close as Salita is Khan's mandatory.

    The fight could be in NY at MSG or U.K in Nov/Dec.

    Solid but nothing exceptional. I'd fancy Khan to beat him even with Amirs dodgy chin.

    Solid sums it up. From what I know he's got pretty good power, his handspeed isn't awful, untested chin. I don't know, he's won close decisions against bums. I think he does at least deserve a chance to prove he is as good as his record. Khan-Salita would be an interesting fight with some interesting cultural implications. I doubt that one will happen, but the Salita-Maidana fight could be one to look at as well.

    Plainly put, he's garbage. No power, can't even box. He's like Malignaggi with no skill. I still root for the guy cause he's a New Yorker but he can't even beat journeymen convincingly.

    I dont think he's that good, if Khan fights him this should be a really easy defence. His resumes is built up of bums IMO.

    decent B or C level fighter, no special effects but no a bum either

    A good fight for Khan in a first defence and US debut, comfortable win imo.
