Timothy Bradley - The battle for Bronze (both lost to the best fighters of their time).
Robert Guerrero - I think it would be a good action fight.
Keith Thurman - If Floyd vacates the WBA belt Maidana would have a chance to get it back and Thurman finally gets the name on his record he was looking for.
Lucas Martin Matthysse - The battle for Argentina. This could be fight of the year (wouldn't mind a trilogy)
MIGUEL COTTO
u KNOW it makes sense! (154)
Failing that, Thurman, Pacquaio or Garcia please
Truth be told throw Chino in with anyone but Alexander and u got a quality fight
Who would be stupid enough to watch another Mayweather fight? He's got all the advantages including the ref not allowing inside fighting. He will run, potshot, run, clinch, rinse and repeat.
Possibly retirement.
Though it's funny that three of the names you mentioned (Bradley, Guerrero and Thurman) were all fights that Maidana had lined up but they all fell through.
It's either going to be his countryman Lucas Matthysse or he's going to retire.
He made his money vs Mayweather, and I don't think he has a love for the sport. He does it because he's good at it, and it paid him well.
I can see him retiring in Argentina living out his days in his farm.
Maidana gonna retire... He has made millions upon millions over the last year with fights vs broner, floyd twice, plus he has had a career filled with high 6-figure purses...
Im pretty sure maidana wants to just go home and chill.. I doubt we see him fight an active schedule.. I think it will be at least a year if not longer before we see maidana, unless he gets offered big money for manny, broner 2, khan 2, brook... Something huge could lure him into the ring, but at this point in his career, he aint gonna fight any low level fighters like soto karass, etc..
Why is guerrero in the running? His best win at welterweight is Berto for crying out loud.
It could be entertaining though, and it's a relatively safe fight for Chino. These two were scheduled to fight a couple years back, but Ghost got injured.
He should fight Porter
Porter is solid but the other names are better known. I was also thinking of putting Pacquiao on the list as a back up if the fight with Floyd can't be made. :boxing:
