Alexander dropped him once in the first fight. He finishes what he started and makes Maidana quit on his stool in the rematch.

Alexander is active but he is fighting very poorly now. He lost to Berto and drew with loser Lopez. Maidana is still better than Berto or Ortiz even being 35 and 4 years out of the ring.
I think Maidana could win by a lucky power shot though still getting peppered in a tough fight. As someone else mentioned it’s going to take a while for Maidana to seriously get back in the game. Like 3 fights. If he were to fight Alexander now, it would seriously be bad for Maidana since Devon’s already in momentum.
I am more than sure Maidana is on a performance based deal, so any of the good fights we think of depends on how he does from the first fight. Maybe Maidana’s second fight I could see the Alexander fight. It would be a great revenge fight for Maidana, but Alexander would go out strong knowing what’s at stake, or both.

Alexander was very good 7 years ago when he beat a Maidana who was a pure slugger without much boxing skill or a jab. Since then Maidana hooked up with Garcia and got much better. Meanwhile Alexander has really gone downhill. Boxrec ranks him 46th in the world, Surely even a rusty 35 year old Maidana can beat the 46th best welterweight who lost to Berto and drew with Lopez.

Because of the lay off, Alexander would win imo
Alexander beat Ortiz imo and he's off the addiction to painkillers
It wouldn't be a smart fight for pbc to make
They will probably match maidana up with someone like samuel Vargas who just fought khan or Aaron Herrera who fought Jessie Vargas and comes forward and can be hurt
