Matthysse-Maidana has been a much-discussed fight among fans for the past couple of years.
"If I'm going to do Malignaggi-Maidana, I wouldn't want to take the risk at the Barclays Center," Schaefer said. "I'm probably going to do a fight for Paulie (April 27), but I don't see many other headline fights for him at Barclays. Do I think Malignaggi-Maidana is a good fight? I do, but I am not sure that's the main event at the Barclays Center, a big, big arena. I don't want to put that fight in a huge venue.
"Right now, I have been thrown a bit of a curveball with this (Malignaggi-Mosley) fight situation, but we will move on. We will have an event on April 27 on Showtime and we are coming up with the right card, but it won't necessarily be at Barclays Center. My first choice is Lucas Matthysse against Marcos Maidana, assuming Matthysse wins on Saturday, from the West Coast."
Schaefer said there are several possibilities, but it will come down to money.
"A fight between Andre Berto and Paulie Malignaggi would be of interest to the networks and fans," he said. "A fight between Maidana and Matthysse is of interest. A fight between Malignaggi and Maidana is of interest. Now there are different amounts of license fees being paid for these fights, so I will go to Malignaggi, to Maidana, to Berto, to Matthysse, and I will tell them what the different purses they can make and we'll go from there."

I really like both fighters, but Matthysse would take Maidana apart. They can both crack, but only one of them can box and only one of them has a solid chin.

I'd still love to see the fight though.

Exactly what I was thinking, how would Maidana possibly win that.

It all depends on how Khan chooses to fight. If he is sensible, he boxes Garcia's head off on his way to a one sided UD. If he gets too involved, he runs the risk of being ironed again.

If Khan fights the right fight it's an easy win for him.

Khan will never have an easy time with a capable puncher. I really don't think it's in his makeup to fight smart, and even if he does manage to hold things together he doesn't know when to throw what and overextends himself all the time. The guy is very talented but very stupid, even for a fighter.

I agree with most of that. Khan's decision-making in the ring along with his suspect chin and vulnerability is what makes him so good to watch.

If he does break the habit of a lifetime and boxes smart he should beat Garcia easily.

Maidana always has a chance because he can punch, but I would have Matthysse as a huge favourite. Matthysse's biggest flaws are that he seems like he can be outboxed and that he's not very fleet of hand or foot, but Maidana isn't the guy to exploit those weaknesses.

Exactly, and Matthyse definetly has some subtle boxiing skills of his own. I think the worst case scenario for him would be having to fall back on them and winning a tough decision, but I wouldn't be surprised if he just took it to Maidana and steamrolled him to the body either.

If you watch Khan's fights against guys like Maidana and Peterson (maybe more, not thinking clearly now) he starts the fight boxing their heads off. His hands and feet are so much faster and he looks to be in a completely different class to them. Then he gets clocked for the first time -- and he slows right the fuck down. I think when he does get clocked he'd like to box smart, I think he'd like just to have got on his bike against maidana and safely utboxed him instead of taking endless shots but he couldn't do it because once he gets properly hit it slows him right down compared to how he is when the first bell goes. That's why if he fights Garcia again it's only a m,atter of time till Garcia catches him again and eventually Garcia will stop him again. Maybe it's over even faster than the first fight.
