Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) who was a former amateur boxer in his youth, today met with Manny Pacquiao, eight time World Champion and current WBO welterweight champion. Pacquiao is considered the best pound for pound boxer in the world.

Besides both having a common interest in boxing, both have strong interests in politics, because Manny Pacquiao is also a Congressman in the Philippines.

Senator Reid presented Pacquiao a US Flag that had previously been flown over the US Capitol building, and Pacquiao reciprocated by presenting Reid a flag from the Philippines.

After the presentation, a reporter asked Reid, “In your prime how long do you think you would last against Pacquiao in the ring”, Reid responded by saying. “about 5 seconds”.
