Told that Maidana wasa offered to fill in next week vs Morales, but he declined and stuck with his show the week after #boxing
Can't say he made a bad choice. After getting his shoes boxed off the first time and barely winning, it wouldn't be smart to fight him again on 10 days notice.
I'm a Maidana fan. Erik is my favorite fighter of all time. Respect both, but if Maidana doesn't except this considering he's been in camp already then this is a huge duck move. It's clear that he's only interested in fighting that tomato can rather than a blown up feather weight that made him look bad.
From Maidana's Twitter-
RT @ChinoMaidana: Now I'll fight in Argentina Sept 23 so I suggest for Morales to win Sept 17 for me to win Sep 23 and we have a rematch end of the year
That's better than nothing but still my point stands.
If Maidana seriously wants the Khan fight again, his best option would be to fight Morales for the WBC- win it and then Khan would have to face him to unite the division. This time though, Khan would destroy him. Sorry Maidana fans
thats my point, if he beats him again its just "ohh he beat a shot to sh.it featherweight"
Yeah but it was a great fight the first time, pretty controversial, I mean I thought morales did it, or maybe a draw. Is this not the reason maidana fans use for a rematch with khan, and maidana admitted he lost that fight. It's for the green belt too, I'm sorry but maidana does not have a
Leg to stand on here
WBC is on the line not some fake interim belt against a nobody
Actually, I don't think Maidana is even putting that fake trinket on the line in his next fight.

He has been through a full training camp, always fights in the same way and is fighting a shot to sh*t career featherweight for crying out loud !!
You're right.
The ugly street rat Maidana has an opportunity to fight for a belt, and he still turns it down?
Why isn't the number one 140 pounder Khan offered the fight? Being number one obviously means he's the most deserving,
We know Morales is scared $hitless of Khan, but WBC should force him.
I never said he'd fight anybody anywhere. You are right though, a lot of his fans go way overboard, overrating him.
That is the problem, there was a pac-maidana poll on here not that long ago! It is hysterical. It is not the fact that he is overrated which bothers me though, because there is plenty of them on nsb. It is this mis-conception about his attitude, he is not a fight anyone, anytime, anywhere type that he portrays himself as. In the ring he has done pretty well, I think the khan performance flattered him a little because khan fought a sloppy, tactically poor fight, but imho maidana is going to take a bad one-sided beating sooner rather than later.

Does he really deserve any credit though? I mean, Morales is a shot featherweight.

so whats new Maidana turned down Ortiz rematch to fight Cayo and had a war with Corley and withdrew out of a Bradley fight its amazing how far Maidana got with only on good win in his resume
lol at all the khan fans butthurt because maidana wont take a fight on 10 days notice, and a fight that he wont get any credit whatsoever if he wins at that.

I don't want to hear **** from maidana or his fans about khan. Building this guy up like some fearless warrior who will fight anyone, he is a warrior and entertaining fighter inside the ring, outside the ring he is just like most other fighters. He measures risk vs reward, and if he thinks he matches up poorly, or he has a lot to lose and not much to gain he won't take the fight. It was the same with Bradley, yes he had promotional issues but he he didn't want that fight, because he was mand for khan and thought he would beat him but got beat, and is back bad mouthing khan not even a year after the loss accusing him of ducking, give me a break! I thought he lost to morales anyway, gets gifted a title and now is not willing to take on the fight at short notice. This guy is not the fearless warrior he or his fans make him out to be.
well maidana is making a show for his fans, so i don't blame him. good luck getting anyone good in 10 days. just hope it's not another WBC gift there. morales vs. a bum for the title.
That's exactly what's going to happen.

That shot to shit career featherweight almost beat him last time. Doesn't speak highly of Maidana's talent, but I can't blame a guy for not taking a fight on 10 days notice if he took him through hell lost time they fought.
