Former two division world champion Marcos Maidana (35-5, 31KOs) had a big year, headlining two consecutive pay-per-view events against the man regarded as the pound-for-pound king, Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Maidana is taking the remainder of the year off to rest his body and spend time with his family.
Robert Garcia, who trains Maidana, would like to see him back in a major fight in 2014 - preferably against WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao, who defends his title on November 22nd against Chris Algieri.
Garcia has gone 0-2 against Pacquiao, with the Filipino star dominating his fighters Brandon Rios and Antonio Margarito. But he believes the third time might be the charm with Maidana.
"He's' resting up for the rest of the year. Hopefully by next year he'll get something big. There's a lot of big fights out there. Especially if we're talking about a rematch with [Adrien] Broner, a rematch with Amir Khan. I would love for him to fight Pacquiao. That's the fight that I would love, but that's between his managers and his promotional teams," Garcia told BoxingScene.com.
