Welterweight star and Filipino politician Manny Pacquiao has denied reports that he mauled a barangay chief on Monday, according to the fighter's lawyer. The Manila Times reported that Pacquiao was facing charges of "vote buying and serious physical injuries" for allegedly attacking Alfredo Belgica, the barangay chairman of San Jose, in General Santos City on Saturday night after Belgica had attempted to stop 'Pac Man' from distributing rice and money to voters. Pacquiao is currently facing re-election as representative of the lone district of Sarangani province, but was in General Santos City to help friend Ronnel Rivera, who is running for mayor in the area.

No double standard here...Manny has lost his last two fights, he needs to take on a credible opponent to regain momentum with a win and beating Rios will do that!!

I'm not so sure Neil, I think Rio would be a good match up but if the one thing Floyd showed us about Guerrero is that he has no plan B and if the pressure Rios would give him got too much he would be fucked!
