Is Alvarado Pacquiao's next foe?
Many are wondering if Manny Pacquiao will finally return to the ring this coming April. "I don't want to say what I shouldn't say," said Pacquiao's promoter Bob Arum as told to BoxingScene.com. "But we have no disagreements within the deal with Pacquiao and what we hope to do is have everything finalized by the weekend." Jeff Horn is scheduled to face his mandatory challenger, Terence Crawford, on April 14 at the Madison Square Garden in New York. Pacquiao is expected to be a part of the Crawford-Horn match to be shown by ESPN.

The 39-year old eight-division champion has been rumored to be facing Mike Alvarado in his next fight. Alvarado (38-4, 26 KOs), 37-years old, is a former WBO junior welterweight champion. Alvarado is now on a streak of a four fight win after suffering three defeats in a row at the hands of Ruslan Provodnikov, Juan Manuel Marquez, who went down in the ninth round, and Brandon Rios in their trilogy fight.

After losing to Rios in January 2015, Alvarado took some rest and returned to the ring in March of 2016 with a knockout of Saul Corral. He fought twice in 2017, with a win by stoppage over Matthew Strode in May and then a knockout of Sidney Siqueira in August. Alvarado beat Ghana's Raymond Narh to win the WBC Continental Americas light welterweight championship. Alvarado's next victory was against Gabriel MartÃnez, to win IBF Latino light welterweight championship on July 30, 2011 in Denver.
