Marcos Maidana is currently on a fishing and hunting tour of Argentina, before he plans on returning to the ring in the summer or the fall.

"We'll probably see him fighting in the second semester of this year," said Contursi (Maidana's Manager). "I would like to see him back in the ring maybe July, maybe August, maybe September. It depends on the opponent and any other issues that we would have to consider."

The opponent Maidana wants, so it seems, is Danny Garcia. He wants to be the number one guy out of Argentina and wants a shot at Garcia who previously beat countryman Lucas Matthysse.

"I don't know how it came up but he did mention that he would want to fight Danny Garcia. But what he did say was, ‘I'd like to beat the guy who beat Lucas Matthysse,' and that would be Danny Garcia. It's nothing personal but I think that there has always been a rivalry between Maidana and Matthysse and not in the bitter sense," said Contursi of Matthysse. "They're not friends, necessarily, but they respect and admire each other and they started boxing together. But you can not avoid the fact that there is a rivalry out there and that's the fact that pushes him to want to be the best fighter in Argentina, which I think that he is, myself. Of course, I guess that's arguable. But when it comes to boxing, Maidana doesn't talk much about opponents that he would like to face, it's just that for the reasons that I mentioned, he wants to fight and beat Garcia."

However good that match-up sounds on paper, it could be potentially be a long-while before we'd see it. Garcia is still inching his way up to 147 and has a bout scheduled with Lamont Peterson, and really, anything can happen between now and then. This potential fight would also need to get the blessing of Al Haymon, who advises both fighters, and he might not be so inclined to put this together. Maybe he would. Regardless, do any of you think that Maidana would fare better than Matthysse in a Garcia fight?
