Back in the day there was a saying when two individuals professed to hate each other but neither one made a move. That saying was that one was scared and the other one was glad of it. Fighting for sport has become a money making venue based on greed rather than what is actually in the best interest of the boxers involved in the matches. Muhammad Ali is the poster child of this idelogy and for those of us lucky enough to have seen him in his heyday versus where he is now, we know that overkill took place in his quest to remain the best the sport of boxing had to offer. Mayweather is one of a kind and will have also have his spot in the history of boxing. However, he also is reflective of the negativity placed on our race as he has demonstrated his ability to go over the top in flashing his cash and making poor critical thinking skills when it comes to being an example. Once he decides not to put conditions on the terms of the match and just do it for the sake of maintaining honor to a sport that has been tarnished with scandal and underhandedness. This is the chance to shine and to bring a high degree of respectibility back to a level the sport has not seen in quite awhile. But instead of taking advantage of the opportunity given, it seems that taking the scenic route and the public’s money along the way is now being seen as making it the American way. Since I am not neither one of the guys involved in this topic, it is rather easy for me to use armchair tactics to say what or what not to do. Although I am one person, I have never underestimated the power of one to make a difference in how things progress in this world. Rest in peace Mandela. I would only hope and pray that both parties can see past economical interests to just bring this long awaited issue to the ring and let the best man win. Peace out, Papacool.
