Manny Pacquiao?s strength and conditioning coach Alex Ariza has claimed today that the former WBO welterweight champion will not face Timothy Bradley in a rematch for his next fight and will instead battle Juan Manuel Marquez for a fourth time.
Ariza, speaking to the Manila Standard, made the revelation earlier and went on to also stipulate that the ?Pacman? will then face Bradley in 2013 once his fued with Mexican legend Marquez is ended once and for all.
Pacquiao, 33, has so far won two and drew one of his trilogy with ?Dinamita? and with all three fight hotly debated decisions, Ariza claims that a convincing win over Marquez is top priority for the Filipino Congressman.
This news could now conceivably open the door for Pacquiao?s stable mate Amir Khan to become Bradley?s first defence later in the year if he can come through WBC 140lb champion Danny Garcia on July 14th.
