      He beat Julio Diaz who was coming off a draw with the current IBF champ Porter.

      Maidana has a stronger case at the weight limit, but Khan beat Maidana. Marcos wasn't even in that fight for 8 rounds.

      Neither of them deserve the fight in truth, but it looks like it's going to be one of the two.

        Where and when did Khan beat Maidana and do you think he would right now?

            Maidana no doubt.

            It fell right into floyd's lap.. I'd be excited to see a fighter like Maidana get a shot.

            Maidana has had a number of new classic fights... Khan, Victor, another with Broner, Morales wasnt a great night for him, but memorable fight., etc...he coming off the biggest win of his career now, I won't even comment on whether he's improved or not. He's been used as the opponent so many times yet he's still here having his greatest day (against a prospect yes, but he went out there and treated Adrien like a cab driver at first. A not a bad style tuneup for going into a floyd fight either) ...losses or not, the cream rises in boxing sooner or later so I'm not going to go on about how limited he is. He's ready

              That was in 2010 that holds no weight right now; I would rather Khan beat Berto than Julio Diaz to as your last fight before you fight Floyd. It's really not about deserve; Manny or Bradley deserves the fight more than anybody. But they are with Top Rank and Floyd is only with Golden Boy until that changes this where we are.

                  I don't know, Khan seems caught between two styles. However, I do think Khan is a better style match-up for FMJ than Maidana who is simply too slow (both of hand and foot).

                  Don't forget the division above, Lara is deserving too, not that I want to see that fight. You're right, it's not all about deserving, I don't think many would have wanted Alexander v FMJ if Devon had won. Entertainment comes into it, people want to see a good fight, not a borefest.

                    Khan because I've seen Mayweather fight guys that just wildly swing already. Mayweather would make it look like Baldomir.

                    At least in a Khan fight I would see some interesting spots in the fight.

                      I've seen Devon Alexander and Amir Khan outbox Maidana already. Once the fist over then we will all see that Maidana is outmatched and outgunned.
