I Won’t Fight Manny Pacquiao Again – Mayweather

Floyd Mayweather says he will not fight Manny Pacquiao again after branding the Filipino a “coward” and a “sore loser”. “He lost,” said the American, 38. “He knows he lost. I lost a lot of respect for him after all of this.” Mayweather says he did not detect any physical problem for Pacquiao during their welterweight contest.


“Absolutely not,” Mayweather said in an interview with Showtime, to be shown this weekend. “He was fast. His left hand was fast, his right hand was fast and he was throwing them both fast and strong.”

Mayweather told ESPN  earlier this week he would consider fighting Pacquiao again but backtracked
on that in the Showtime interview. “I change my mind,” he said. “At this particular time, no, because he’s a sore loser and he’s a coward.

If you lost, accept the loss.” Mayweather says his last fight before retirement will be in September, with Britain’s Amir Khan a possible opponent.

Therefore, the question remains, “Do we turn away and give up in our quest for justice, peace, truth, and a better world?”  The answer for me is a resounding NO! We must recognize that until we challenge our world’s problems, we will continue to live in fear, lack, and anger. Eleanor Roosevelt once s...

The Fleeting Nature of Time

As I scrolled through the faded photograph, the faces of my former classmates stared back at me - a relic from a time long passed. There was Ms. Sola, our teacher, standing resolute in the center, her stern gaze commanding our rapt attention. And there were the familiar names, each one a thread in the tapestry of my youth: Sharon, Delani, Kola, Hazumo, Gafar, Ibrahim the drummer boy, Moji, Sijibomi, Damilola, Esther, Moses, Bimbo, and of course, my own humble self. Time, that elusive and relentless force, had swept us all along on its inexorable march. The carefree days of Evaton Nursery and Primary School, where knowledge, values, and good morals were imparted, now felt like a lifetime ago. How quickly the years had slipped through our fingers, leaving us changed, molded by the experiences that followed. As I gazed at the photograph, I couldn't help but reflect on the fleeting nature of time. The innocent faces in the image, frozen in a moment of captured history, now ...
