CBS news magazine show 60 Minutes ran a profile story on the seven division champion and current Saranggani congressman Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao.
On the story presented by Bob Simon, one of 60 Minutes's correspondents, Top Rank promoter Bob Arum said Pacman is the best fighter that he has ever seen. Pacman's chief trainer and coach Freddie Roach, however, said Manny is distracted by his being a politician among other things and he is worried about Manny's chances on the ring against his foe Mexican slugger Antonio "Tijuana Tornado" Margarito.
Manny was also asked by Simon, if he has plans of running for president of the Philippines in the future.
At the end of the interview, the Filipino champ, who rose from being an impoverished General Santos youth to a billionaire boxer answered the 60 Minutes's correspondent on who he thinks is the greatest boxer ever.
Manny answered: "Including me? Of course, me!"
Manny fights Margarito tomorrow, November 14 (November 13 in Dallas, Texas) for the vacant WBC Super Welterweight (Light Middleweight) World Boxing Champioship title.
