And obviously being a non-puncher makes it a good match for Khan.
can't be surprised at this, its not like he's gonna fight a puncher any time soon, wonder why he's not looking to avenge his only loss :rolleyes:
If they wanted to make an interesting fight with someone who does not have a knock out punch they should have put him against someone like Malignaggi. Not someone who is ranked 59th in the world. He may be undefeated but im guessing there is a reason for that ranking, because he has fought nobodies.Quote:

It was on the Jones-Calzaghe undercard I think you mean, he was up against a short, pudgy Mexican guy who thoroughly outboxed him & but for poor conditioning would have had him out of there. To be fair Salita has been the mandatory for about 2 years so it's only fair he gets his shot. Khan will have him out of there within 6 though.Quote:

I really don't think this is a bad fight. He's only just won the belt and at 21 years old is clearly still a work in progress.
Surely you guys don't want him moved too fast and to end up like Fernando Vargas, burnt out by his mid twenties.
Fighting his mandatory is what Joe Calzaghe did for almost a decade, give him a break.
I don't know anything about Salita, other than he's the mandatory and is an undefeated fighter. Ending a 30-0 record will look good on Khan's resume at least.
I have little interest in this. If muppets want to pay exorbitant amounts to watch poor PPV matchups then they should go ahead and do so. Sensible people would be better off cutting their nails, going to the pub or even writing hate mail to Frank Warren.

Morales may not have been such a poor choice:cool:
Agreed and Salita is better than ordinary although Khan should win this easily. How's Salita's chin?Quote:

khan would obliterate salita.
Hope frank warren dont promote dis shit on some holy war bullshit lol due to khan being a muslim and saltia a jew
Muslim vs Jew. Have it at Madison Square Garden in NY city and it would be decent.
