Manny Pacquiao is not looking past Mexican icon Erik Morales, who the Filipino faces for the third time on Nov. 18 in Las Vegas. But the 27-year-old knockout king expressed the opinion that in the event he handles Morales in their scheduled 12-round duel at the Thomas and Mack Center, he would be ready to return to the ring sometime in March or April 2007. “March or April would be okay,” Pacquiao told Fightnews.com after an intense sparring session at the Wild Card in Hollywood where he has been working out since Sept. 20. There are reports that Marco Antonio Barrera has been penciled for a fight on March 11 although no name has been mentioned as a spossible foe.Barrera and Pacquiao fight under Oscar dela Hoya’s Golden Boy Promotions. But a Morales victory could hamper plans for a rematch.
