Former two division champion Marcos Maidana (35-5, 31KOs) says he is likely to return to action in the "middle of 2015."

The boxer, 31-years-old, had a huge year in 2014 with two Showtime Pay-Per-View fights with Floyd Mayweather Jr. (47-0, 26KOs). Although he lost, Maidana was competitive in both contests.

In terms of the options, there is very little interest in facing Keith Thurman after the boxer had a very lackluster performance last Saturday night with 40-year-old Leonard Bundu.

One of the possibilities Maidana would consider, according to his adviser Sebastian Contoursi, is Amir Khan (30-3, 19KOs), who defeated Maidana in 2010 with a very close twelve round decision at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. That match took place when boxers were at junior welterweight.

Khan is looking to face the man Maidana fought twice, which is Mayweather. But Mayweather recently stated in an interview that he doesn't have any interest in facing Khan. A Maidana-Khan rematch would be a big fight in the welterweight division and both of them work with adviser/manager Al Haymon.

But it doesn’t look like Thurman is going to get his wish of facing Maidana (35-5, 31 KOs) either, even though it would likely be a rather easy fight to make considering they are both fighting on Showtime and both with adviser Al Haymon.

“We all thought Keith Thurman had such a bad night, especially if you consider that he faced a 40-year-old European that could not punch at all. That's what Maidana himself said at ringside,” Sebastian Contursi, Maidana’s manager, told ESPN.com on Tuesday. “Right after the fight Maidana was being interviewed by [Argentine television network] Space's Juan Larena and while the interview was being conducted we were all surprised that Keith called out Marcos the way he did in the ring while being heavily booed by the whole arena. I think Keith picked such a bad time for calling out both Mayweather and Maidana after such a disappointing performance.

“We all respect Thurman as a great prospect but we think he still belongs to a different league for now. With all due respect, he needs to prove himself against the likes of Shawn Porter, Kell Brook, Victor Ortiz or Robert Guerrero before promising to ‘destroy Floyd or go through Maidana.’”

After the fight, Maidana and Contursi were watching the Amir Khan-Devon Alexander main event when guess who sat down next to them to also watch in about the fourth round? Thurman.

“Maidana and Keith recognized each other. They hugged, very friendly, and Maidana told him in his rough English, pointing out at him, ‘You wanna fight me? OK.’ They both laughed," said Contursi.

“I tell you this story since for the last two years Keith and some of his fans have made boxing fans believe that Maidana has ducked Thurman like Maidana was scared of him. That comes from the time back in 2012 when I agreed in principle -- we signed no contract or anything and Golden Boy Promotions rushed to announce it -- for Marcos to face Thurman and then I, myself, did not agree in the end,” added Contursi.

Allah Haymon needs to do better in terms of matchmaking for Thurman.
If the point that everyone keeps making is that he hasn't fought anyone then start lining up some names for him.
The way he has been brought along is actually kind of baffling to me.

Me too.


They might as well throw him in there with Devon Alexander, Robert Guerrero, or Victor Ortiz now, because it seems they are the 3 #HaymonHustlas gatekeepers for Welterweight:manny:

But he wont run it back, as far as AB goes, so it doesnt matter:yeshrug:


And Floyd clearly beat him the 2nd time, so the 1st meme isnt valid anymore:manny:


nikka he clealry beat him the first time. fukk Marcos he ducking AB.

I think he might give Khan a decent fight tho. I know Amir trained by the Virgil Hunter, but will old habits pop back up if he fights a true pressure fighter like Marcos again.

Yeah, I think so too.


Maidana has fine tuned his skills with Garcia and same with Khan with Hunter. I think the pressure that Maidana brings will bring the old Khan back out though as well. Good observation:obama:
