We'll know a lot more after May 15th, the date of Amir Khan Vs. Malignaggi. If Khan wins with ease, his confidence and fighter's pride might make him opt to look in Maidana's direction once more. If, however, the relatively light-hitting "Magic Man" either defeats Khan or gives him trouble, hurts him and gives him real headaches in the fight, Maidana - or any fighter so dangerous for that matter - will surely be ignored by Team-Khan when it comes to Amir's next fight.
Let's let Khan get his U.S/Golden Boy debut out of the way first, and then begin asking/ demanding that he face Maidana. Of course, all will not be lost for "El Chino" if he is avoided by Khan forever; what with there being a number of exciting-looking and attractive match-ups that can be made for him in the currently talent-rich 140-pound weight class. Maidana Vs. Devon Alexander would be great, as would Maidana against either Timothy Bradley or Malignaggi, if the New Yorker does manage to take Khan's belt in May.
The fight that continues to really interest, though, is Maidana against the man from Bolton, U.K.
