Got to give King Khan his dues, I doubt Warren rigged the WBA rankings to get Salita for Khan. At the end of the day Khan was too quick for salita and did his job well.
I think Khan is going to do the same thing to much better fighters than Salita. I wonder how 'frauds' and 'glass jaws' he will go through before folk accept he is different class.
Salita has been highly ranked for a while. It's a poor ranking but I don't thinkt his had anything to do with Warren. Still, he was a fully fledged 140 pounder and undefeated in 31 bouts so there was some worth in it. This card wasn't PPV material though.
I hate the WBA they are a joke. Nonsense titles, **** rankings and their web page isn't even up to date I am checking most up to date rankings which are from September. This is their rankings (got rid of Salita) Interim - Maidana 2. Juan Diaz 3. Victor Cayo 4. Andreas Kotelnik 5. Kendall Holt 6. Mike Alvarado 7. Victor Ortiz 8. Ricky Hatton 9. YODSANAN NANTHACHAI 10. Brunet Zamora 11. Alberto Mosquera 12. YOSUKEZAN ONODERA 13. Mark Jason Melligan 14. William Gonzalez 15. Kaizer Mabuza
Super champs and interim champs have to be done away with quickly. Interim champs should only come into effect if the real champ can't fight for at least a year due to illness, injury etc
Salita was No 1 contender before Khan fought Kotelnick, probably before their fight was even aranged. There's no chance Warren rigged the rankings and the chances are Salita was going after lighter punching Kotelnick when he got his ranking. I agree it shouldn't have been PPV though.
I dont give a ****, Salita was utter shite, and everyone knew it, so I dont know how he was number 1:huh But you cant slag Khan off for it, but aint going to say he is something special until he beats someone of note, lets see him against Bradley, even Witter who is pretty much finished but solid chin and good punch would be a step in the right direction
