Marcos Maidana WON'T fight Berto. It just can't happen. Period.

Why does Andre Berto want opponents from a smaller weight division? There's some very good welterweights to choose from: Clottey, Zaveck, Senchenko, etc. He's a big welterweight, there's LOTS of good super welterweights: Cotto, Angulo, Dzinziruk, Foreman, Martirosyan, Cintron, etc. He wanted to face Zaveck and Senchenko, but appearently Ross Greenburg didn't approve. Clottey and Cintron are in HBO's dog house for obvious reasons, and Cotto turned down a fight, but no one cares about that. Angulo, Dzin, would make good fights but he probably would rather campain at 147 then fight those guys. I'd only see him coming up in weight for vunerable/Top Rank 154 pounders like Cotto, Marg, ect.

It doesn't seem likely, especially since MM is the mandatory contender for Khan. Yeah, especially since JMM seems to want to face katsidis instead of Khan, raising Maidana's chances of getting the fight. Just glad this thread wasn't totally ducked.

He has a fight coming up on August 28. He's not fighting Berto four weeks later on 10/2. If your interested puting your money where your mouth is, I'll take bets on it, so hit me up. That's all. It doesn't seem likely, especially since MM is the mandatory contender for Khan.
