That's a joke in itself then, don't think Salita has ever fought anyone decent.

Doesn't really matter. He was the number one contender for the title, so Khan had to fight him.
You can only fight what's in front of you, so credit where it's due.

Yep. He had to fight him as No.1 contender.
Not sure what Zim is saying or even knows what he is saying. He fought someone good in Prescott and got beat bad. That will prove to be the best thing that ever happened to him. It showed he wasn't ready, nor was he or his defense good enough. Pac-Man has lost a few times to get where he is now remember.
He's beaten this guy (albeit not the greatest but unbeaten) convincingly and will go to the states under Roach (the best trainer in the world which is a great move on Khan's part). There in the States he should be able to develop much better than he was here. He's gonna be sparring with pound for pound the best boxer Pac-Man for the Mayweather fight and will also seemingly take on anyone handpicked in the US now where the standard of fighter is far better because of the quanity of the Americas.
He needs to slowly develop and take on each that comes. He's still very young and needs guidance. But he obviously has talent that under Roach can be fulfilled. The real test is in America when he sets up home there. Not many boxers have fought the standard of say Hopkins of Pac Man or Barrera or Morales etc in England because ther eisn't enough here to warrant the respect so many are easy to jump on them for.
