Who should Maidana fight next?

[MJ406]

I know both are from Argentina, but have Maidana and Matthysse talked about fighting each other ever?

**I'm also still bummed out that Maidana chose not to fight Morales on the Mayweather-Ortiz undercard. A chance to pick up an alphabet belt would have upped his stock quite a bit

[Rome-By-Ko]

I want to make a poll but don't know how. There are lots of options, who do you think he should fight and who do you think is most likely? I heard negotiations with Mccloskey aren't going well, personally im glad I dont wanna see him fight that bum.

Humberto Soto?
Paul Mccloskey?
Lucas Matthysse?
Timothy Bradley? (No way it'll happen though)
Erik Morales II?
Andre Berto?
Winner of Alvardo vs Prescott?

I always wanted to see him fight Bradley,but I doubt Maidana wants any..So Prescott Matts or Soto all sound good to me..Why no mention of R.G.The Ghost??

His mandatory. If he doesn't he gets his ***** stripped.

So he needs to man up and fight his mandatory.

After he fights McCloskey, I would love a showdown with Brandon Rios or Matthysse. Maidana is 3-0-1 against Lucas, but I want them to fight under the bright lights.

I'd like to see a fight against Bam Bam Rios.

[Jack Napier]

Maidana-Matthysse is a war
didn't they fight each other in the amateurs before?
great fight with a little backstory
would love to see that fight

[Though not the most exciting bout on paper] Paul McCloskey has earned his shot against the Argentinian and is the fight I would like to see materialize next. I want for Maidana to show improvements through new trainer Rudy Pérez before moving on to the more known fighters.

Do not get me wrong; a fight with Soto, Guerrero, Bradley, Morales, Alexander or Berto are all better choices as Marcos' crude style (along with his tendency to be vulnerable) make for exciting match ups. But a better career choice for him I believe is a fight against McCloskey...but that's just me.

edit: I was under the impression that Paul McCloskey was the mandatory for Maidana's WBA title. If in fact it is Humberto Soto, that on its own is a match I would love to see.

Soto........if not him LM.

Even though I have no interest in mccloskey, a mandatory is understandable and maybe expected.

[chiguy91]

i still would love to see guerrero, but in the meantime, morales or soto.

His mandatory IS Soto.
