CBS 60 Minutes' Bob Simon shares wisdom on Pacquiao and politics

Follow 'dSource' on Twitter @itsDSourceBaby and on Facebook.

CBS 60 Minutes correspondent Bob Simon is one of the most respected and decorated journalists around. Winner of 22 Emmy awards for his outstanding reporting that includes the first profile of the so-called "Lost Boys of Sudan", and an exclusive interview with Iraqi Shiite insurgency leader Muqtada al-Sadr, Simon is a pioneer in international journalism, which is why his presence at the Wild Card Gym last Wednesday created quite a stir among other media personnel.

The reason being is that Simon is doing a report on boxing's best and most popular fighter Manny Pacquiao for 60 Minutes to be aired on November 7. Pacquiao is only the second boxer after 'The Golden Boy' Oscar Dela Hoya to be featured on the show by Simon. 

When asked about Pacquiao's story and his venture into politics, Simon had some valuable insights to share. "There are thousands of politicians in this world; There's only one top boxer," Simon told Fanhouse's Elie Seckbach. Truly, the most insightful thoughts need not a lot of words and no further elaboration. 

Also asked why they are featuring Pacquiao on the groundbreaking and popular 60 Minutes show, Simon replied, "He's the best of the best. We go for the best of the best. If he was the number 2 fighter in the world, we wouldn't cover him."

Nobody else could've said it more succinctly.

    As a Pinoy, it is very difficult not to feel proud about the take of Bob Simons on Pacquiao's being the best boxer today and being a Congressman.

    BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO BAD PEOPLE!!!!

  • dirtysouth 1 year ago

    Who the f*k cares? Just because he's been on the most TV shows doesn't mean he could beat money May...The truth is, they can't belive that this scrawny Asian came from a third world country and he,s been dominating all the Latinos...As for him being the worlds most popular fighter is a far cry considering he only sold 750,000 PPVs compared to money Mays 1.5 million...Where I live in the south Pacific alis still and would probably always be that worlds most popular fighter. Yall c*cks*kas are dreaming.

  • 5 knots 1 year ago

    THE MORE PAY PER VIEW FLOYD HAS, THE MORE FOOLISH FOLLOWER HE GOT.

  • jack2x 1 year ago

    pac can beat floyd in fact he can ko floyd the pac did to hatton.........floyd had problems with lefty , zab judah almost knocks him if only zab didn't fade at later rounds, spadafora who is also a lefty pummeled floyd in their sparring session, the guy who beat floyd in the finals of olympic is a lefty and pacquiao is waaaaaaaaay better than this guys i mention.....from mayweather sr.: before being incarcerated: never put floyd in the ring with a lefty. and later mayweather sr. said in an interview early 2010 if i'm not mistaken "roids or no roids my son floyd will nnot fight pacquiao...

    @ dirtysouth.... You are nothing but an uneducated, ignorant, illmannered. IDIOT!

  • jack2x 1 year ago

    uh-oh....an ignorant is the one who does not know what he is talking about......fyi, all the name i mention in my rebuttal are all true while your argument is delusional thats why you can't take the heat and resorted to rascist comments....go back to the article of marley where we have unfinish argument and rebutt my latest argument with you..or you are already giving up coz i'm owning you point by point in that article.

  • dirtysouth 1 year ago

    Okey but before I do...You're talking about a fight that happend 10 years ago..lol...I can't belive you had to resort to 10 year old stats...I don't even bother bringing up the fact that Pacgirl got knocked out by z-class fight named Rustico Torrecampo...Remeber that? lol...Pacgirl can't even beat up JMM or Amir Khan...a lightweight and a superlightweight..lmao

  • jack2x 1 year ago

    @dirtysouth:what are you talking about jmm and amir ? jmm got beaten already.. 1st fight (error scoring by 1 judge could have been a win.. 2nd fight pac won) and the fight also happens years ago and pac fought jmm at his best weight while fraud fought jmm at 144 lbs, 3 division up from super feather and to make sure fraud will get all the advantage from an old aging and small boxer fraud cheated on his weight..did this make you flomos proud of your boy?.... regarding ami r khan, i think you got to wake up since your day dreaming for how did amir outbox pacquiao? your using sparring session and articles as your basis while i, mentioning spadafora and floyd sparring is with basis on youtube (you can see here spadafora beating fraud).... you mention fights 10 years ago then why did fraud always bringing up pacs loses and if you have stated pac got beaten by z class boxer then WHY IS FRAUD SOOOOOOOO AFRAID WITH A BOXER ALREADY BEATEN BY A Z CLASS BOXER?????.......REALITY HURTS ISNT IN???? THAT YOUR IDOL FRAUD IS A COWARD THAT FLOMOS JUST CAN'T ACCEPT IT TO THE POINT OF GETTING DELUSIONAL JUST TO DEPEND AN INDEPENSIBLE FRAUD.

  • boxingpurist 1 year ago

    Those sayin Pac has many distractions leading to his fight against Marga should know better! Have u seen Roach wearin armor gloves as if mocking Marga? Do u think if Pac's not 100% focused for this fight Roach would do that? Well, your guess is as good as mine! Always, Roach is a master tactician! Pac by 11th rd stoppage of the bigger Margacheato! Arum simply hyping the fight for him and his fighters benefit! Come fight night, the Tornado would be overwhelmed by the Typhoon from the Pacific!
