I can see Warren and Khan vacating the WBA Strap before fighting Medina.

Maidana has tons of heart, I love watching him go caveman in the ring. Khan enjoys a heavy reach and handspeed advantage, this is absolutely the worst case for Maidana. As long as Khan can keep his foot on the gas he will cruise to an easy victory.
Khan wide UD.
For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.

Almost certainly as there's no ranked fighter in the Light-Welterweight division by that name
Honestly though, as tough as Maidana is he's vulnerable to speed. Ortiz lost by getting involved in Maidana's fight. Khan won't do that plus he's faster than Ortiz. I'm going with Killer, Khan by UD.

i think maidana get outboxed most of the fight and then ends in a sudden 1 hit KO.
Whats wrong with Salita? I've never really seen him fight but why does Khan automatically outclass him that we can look ahead?

Agreed. Khan has to focus on Salita first.. whom I haven't seen much of so i can't comment on a outcome. But I think Khan will out box Maidana all night long, especially now since he's so cautious about his approach, instead of the reckless Khan that steamed into Prescott.
But if Maidana does catch Khan it's lights out. Kotelnik caught Khan with some half decent shots, most of which seemed to hit when Khan was back pedaling.. think he'll have to watch out there.

Nothing is wrong with Salita. He fights out of New York and I've seen him fight a few times. He is a good, above-average boxer with decent speed, but he doesn't pack a big punch. Khan's weakness is glaringly obvious - his chin. Plus, the fight is on Khan's home turf. A win for Salita in the UK would be a BIG upset. Because Maidana has a big punch all he has to do is get within Khan's reach and he beats him.
On another note, I disagree to an extent that Maidana is such a limited fighter. I remember thinking Maidana beat Kotelnik in Germany, but robbed by the decision and he has also beat Ortiz.
What follows is a little update, it looks like fighters are scrambling to fight Maidana in order to obtain the chance to fight the Khan/Salita winner.

I too see a wide UD for Khan, don't see a whole lot of skill in Maidana's game.. if he were to catch Khan flush it would be due to Amir charging in thinking he can spark Maidana out, which is an unlikely scenario now that Roach has drummed some discipline into Khan.
EDIT: holy shiz.. didn't realise I've already posted in here.
