Even though Khan has already beat Maidana?

Is Maidana rated simply becuase he beat Bronner? Isn't Bronner just a bit overrated?

Didn't a fat Morales nearly beat Maidana?

Seriously
There is that arguement.

Then theres the arguement of:-

1. Khan has never fought at 147
2. Khan has lost two of his biggest fights at 140.
3. Khans last wins were against lightweights
4. Khan nearly lost in last fight to a past prime by 8 yrs lightweight.
5. Khan hasnt fought for ten months
6. Khan is a spoilt brat.
7. Khan has never avenged his losses.
1. Maidana hasnt done well at 147.
2. Maidana lost 2 of his biggest fights at 140 including to Khan
3. If u want to call Diaz a lightweight, then Maidana's last win was against a Super-Feather
4. Maidana bearly beat Morales who is about 10 years past his prime
5. Maidana has never avenged his losses
It's all about what's fresh in peoples minds. Maidana just came off a huge, entertaining, and emphatic win over a big name opponent that was supposed to be the next big thing. He is on a 4 fight win streak...most by KO/TKO. Khan has not looked impressive in a LONG time...even when he has won. Add to it that people are overselling Khan's PPV popularity (he is not Hatton)...Maidana deserves this fight.
Its the freshness that people have remembered and making a story of how big bro will be defending lil bro will add to the all access episodes and increase sales.
