Marcos Maidana has named who he wants as his next opponent--Manny Pacquiao.

Maidana is coming off two losses to Floyd Mayweather Jr.

“Pacquiao is possible,” Maidana told Fox Deportes recently.

“I do not think any other fighter can be better than Pacquiao at this time. There is talk of a rematch with (Adrien) Broner, but I wouldn’t really want that.”

Maidana defeated Broner in 2013, leading to his two fights against Mayweather. 

“I‘ll wait to see if I can get the fight with Pacquiao, but we’ll wait,” Maidana said.

He said that Broner and Amir Khan don’t interest him very much, but that “it’s necessary” to look at every option.

Maidana has also fought Khan before, losing in December 2012.
