    Decent fight for Khan. Apparently they have to fight within 90 days and theres already been talks.

    Salita is nothing special, and not a big puncher so I can see it happening. A jew vs A Muslim, this could get tasty.

    Either a word won't be said of it, or they will be shown to get along. Not a chance would they let any religious stuff get into this fight, wouldn't be good for the sport, the safety of the fighters or the image of Amir Khan. If anything they'd use it as an excuse to say the two get a long and find peace with each other.

    Salita has a lot of hype behind him but I've never seen anything to justify it. I can see Khan win this quite convincingly.

    I'd like to see Khan vs Mallignaggi...

    How well known is Salita in the US? Would it make for a top of the bill or undercard fight?? Would be good if Khan can put on a good performance in the states and start making a name there.

    Khan vs Mallignaggi should be next. Thats would get his some exposure over there.

    Doesn't Maidana hold the 'interim' title? Where does he fit into all of this?

    Exactly. Don't be suprised is Khan fights Morales, and becomes super champ, Salita wins a versain of the WBA belt, Maidana has a versain to.

    The mandatories are really ****ing up boxing....i like the IBO, unbiased computer rankings, and when the guy that has the IBO strap fights the title is automatically on the line....thats the way it should be...

    The WBA will be quite content to have an interim champion.

    I wouldn't be that surprised that unless either Khan or Maidana vacate, the two 'champions' are allowed to co-exist for an indefinite period.

    He's a fairly big draw with the Jewish community in New York, they could probably garner enough interest for a fight at the Garden.

    Khan beats him all day long.

    The fight would be a big deal in the states due to religion.
