I disagree with that. Maidana, while an exciting fighter, is largely unproven. Malignaggi has demonstrated that he is among the best 140lb'ers in the world and if not an elite fighter than he is just a step below.
All fighting Maidana would prove is that a) Khan can take a punch or b) that he's become a good enough fighter to avoid getting hit by a relatively crude and unproven slugger. Beating Malignaggi would demonstrate that Khan had arrived as a legitimate fighter.
