If Floyd ever fought Maidana it would be the same as Pacquiao fighting Rios. Now if Floyd did chose Rios (a guy Manny just beat) I think most would be dead against that fight.
As everyone knows Khan already beat Maidana clearly and Maidana has not improved in any way since he fought Khan. He's the same fighter as before but against Broner he was back to the same sort of form as the Khan fight.
He went through a bad patch after his loss to Khan, depression and a drop in motivation plagued him with the realization that he had been beaten by a clearly better fighter, he fell out of love with the sport until he connected with Robert Garcia where the change of scene has brought back the passion he needed to once again be a top tier fighter and return to the level he was at when he lost to Khan.
The bottomline of course is that how could Floyd choose one of Khan's former victims instead of Khan himself? Wouldn't that be like Floyd choosing to fight Brandon Rios instead of fighting Pacquiao?
Exactly..

Stop it buddy. It's just not the same.
Yeah but there's just one big difference...Maidana isn't coming off of a big fat loss. He's actually coming off of an impressive victory over a previously undefeated fighter who was the favorite. I agree with you but Rios just got his ass kicked while Maidana did the ass kicking. And this is boxing. Anything can happen.

He's in shape and belongs at 147 because he's actually a beast, he trains hard and gives 110% in every fight. Rios is at 140-147 because he doesn't train hard enough to be at 135. He has too much flab to be called even a legit JWW, he's like Juan Diaz.
