WHAT CAN THEY SAY NOW FLOYD?

Floyd Mayweather Jr. is one of the more contraversial figures in my favorite sport, boxing. Just reaching his thirties he is regarded as the best pound for pound fighter in the sport. He has beaten champions and is one of the best athletes on the planet. Highly conditioned, and a tactician he methodically beats opponents all the while building up a fan base of people who want to see him lose.

As a frequenter of boxing websites and forums, for the past few years I have witnessed people whining asking who has he fought, he has no power, he will get beat etc. Then when he does fight someone of note, or beats who they said he wouldn't there is an excuse.

Myself I was not impressed with his victory over Oscar De La Hoya. What impresses me about Mayweather Jr. is how he constantly comes into his recent fights as the smaller man. He has brittle hands which are less effective now that he has moved up in weight, yet he still makes these bigger more powerful men look stupid.

Now he has signed on to face Ricky Hatton. Your typical slugger, not tremendously talented in the defense department, but a fighter who will rough you up, and is just a tough guy on the inside. As a fan, I do want to see Floyd tested, but part of me knows that he will box Ricky Hatton for 12 and win a UD.

Anyway I just want to say that I am proud to be a fan of Mayweather. He says alot of things that we are thinking and has made the best of his abilities. If he beats Hatton they will say he was overrated, a bum, etc., simply because Mayweather beat him. Its boring and its old. Calling any man who risks his life in the ring a coward is cowardly itself.

I'm sick of these armchair fighters talking shit, not even having a fist fight in their existence. The next time you want to talk shit over the internet about a boxer, go to your nearest boxing or MMA gym find a guy your size and tell him that what he does for a living is cowardly and that he's nothing. See what happens.

QUIT HATIN ON BARRY BONDS!!!!

Barry Bonds. They say he's arrogant, an asshole, a steroid abuser and not deserving of anything. He's the scourge of baseball, "America's Game". (I'll get back to that later).

Since when did he owe you or anybody anything? Since when has he tested positive for anything? Since when did sports become a personality contest. Everyday when I'm trying to watch sports center all I hear is old white men whining about him breaking yet another record and how he tainted the game. How? Prove something please just once!

The only problem I have with Barry Bonds is that Lawrence Taylor earring he's still rockin'. I have no problem that yet another black man has tore up the league and left almost a Jordan like impression on the record books which in baseball is everything. He doesn't give in to playing the "house nigga" for the media and thats why they hate him. Nobody ever says shit about Roger Clemens who was brought up in the steroid thing by a player who got caught. Nobody finds it suspicious that he has gotten buff, better while skinny ass Randy Johnson has hit the DL 3 times this season. Also nobody says shit about how from the late sixties and up, players openly used amphetamines.

Barry was already a Hall of Famer before the steroids shit came up. Didn't come up till he shattered the record. Nobody said anything when McGwire was jacking out balls along with Sosa. It was a celebration, baseball was back!

So for all my black folks out there. Pay attention to your people in the news and watch when Bonds shatters the Home Run Record. Yet another black man has achieved the top level of greatness in yet another sport.

And honestly its really "Latin America's Game" because they pump out way better players then America does.
