    I really have no idea.

    I've never seen him fight.

    Does he have legitimate shot at beating Khan?

    looking at his quality of opposition, KO percentage and considering the fight is in Newcastle I would say no

    HE'S good against dudes from the Mid west..i seen Dimitry fight many times and ill tell u this, Any slickness quickly discourages SALITA and doesnt really adapt much, I see SALITA getting hurt bad, but Salita does have a thudding left hook...if he lands one of them PRESCOTT left hooks, then yeah...but i doubt it

    Saw him on the Calzaghe / Jones undercard last year, I wasn't impressed and thought he was given a hometown decision ... fully expect Khan to do a number on him.

    Only seen him fight twice and both times he struggled, just an opponent for Khan. At this point I wouldn't blame Amir, he's being well matched against feather fisted fighters. Luckily the division has Paulie Malignaggi and Timothy Bradley so he can coast for a bit longer, but sooner or later he is going to be spectacularily knocked out again.

    No and no. He has about as much of a shot as Michael Jennings did against Cotto.

    He's basically a poor man's Kotelnik.

    Salita is solid you could say. If that.
