By Stanley White: Manny Pacquiao’s next fight on April 14th is said to be close to being finalized this week by his promoter Bob Arum. According to the LA Times, the leading candidate to face the 39-year-old Pacquiao is the ring warn and badly faded Mike Alvarado, a fighter that is the downside of his career at 37. However, Alvarado is promoted by the same promoter as Pacquiao (59-7-2, 38 KOs) in Bob Arum of Top Rank, so it makes him a good choice for an in house fight. Pacquiao fighting Alvarado is a terrible match if the idea is to put on an exciting fight for the fans. It would have been a good fight 6 years ago before Alvarado started losing repeatedly, but it’s horrible fight now. Pacquiao doesn’t need tune-ups against journeyman fighters like Alvarado.
