That's the thing though. It's a joke if he doesn't fight him but it means little if he beats him. That's why i can understand Warren not really wanting the fight (as speculated). If you're going to get sparked it might aswell be in a fight where you're the underdog. Hatton got ko'd by Mayweather but he still got his fight with Pacquiao. Somehow i doubt he would if Castillo had ko'd him.

Khan has already had the misfortune of being KO'd by an complete unknown so to risk doing it again against Maidana (who isn't known to the mainstream sports fan) would probably be career suicide. In an ideal world he'd take the fight but when the risk far outweighs the gain, the chances of the fight happening will always appear slim.

Surely though, if you honestly think he'll get his head taken off, why wouldn't you give him credit if he beat Maidana? I mean that would be double standards of ICB proportions

Just kidding ICB.
