The other thinks he's a total bum. Regarding the fighters you mentioned, do you think Salita could beat them at this point? Malignaggi beat Cotto soundly tonight and realistically Salita's never beaten a guy even as good as Cotto.Jewish Boxinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11456646510795692350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9035405505587470264.post-23353567362880030122011-04-09T22:21:59.509-04:002011-04-09T22:21:59.509-04:00I don't consider Salita a "bum";I ju...I don't consider Salita a "bum";I just don't think he "gets it".For his upcoming fight-in which he also doubles as promoter,he has Luis Collazo fighting a guy who lost to him-as well as his last several fights.It's amazing he was able to get to fight Khan.I think Malignaggi(who just decisioned Cotto)and Collazo are buddy's of his-so what.Benny Leonard fought his buddy (and fellow Hall of Famer)Johnny Dundee tons of times(see boxrec.com).One obvious question is why isn't Salita fighting Collazo in ..at least a rematch next week.Or Paul<br />Spadafora,who's apparently negotiating with Floyd Mayweather;Spadafora can be seen on youtube knocking Mayweather around the ring in a sparring session.And since Mayweather's probably looking at making license plates for a while,Spadafora(and the above names)are available..brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13604045924080733571noreply@blogger.com
