Mayweather's Father Leaves Camp...AGAIN

If you are a boxing fan (like myself), you are eagerly waiting for the much-anticipated May 5 battle royale between Floyd Mayweather and Oscar De La Hoya.

The soap opera between the Mayweathers (Floyd Sr., Floyd Jr., and Roger) has taken another turn. It has been reported that Floyd Sr. has left the Mayweather camp.

According to USA Today, Mayweather Sr. said he didn't like his son expressing loyalty to his uncle and trainer Roger Mayweather, while saying he was scared of his dad, who also trained him earlier in his career.

During last week's episode of the "De La Hoya-Mayweather: 24/7", Junior talked about his father's verbal and physical abuse during his teen years. As a result of this, he is closer to his uncle Roger.

His father was in and out of his life during his formative years. When his was around, he would take Floyd Jr. to the gym and train him on boxing fundamentals. During one of the Mayweathers separation, Floyd Sr. served as trainer to De La Hoya.

Floyd Sr. told his hometown newspaper, the Grand Rapids (Mich.) Press, that he will have no involvement in next week's fight between his son and De La Hoya.

"We're back to square one," he said. "That's where we're at, we're back at the beginning. I do want to get back together with Little Floyd. I do want to get to know my grandkids. But if he doesn't want it to happen, so it will be."

Our Contribution

Greetings to you all. I am Da1armbandit. My wife, Cassandra, has asked me to aid her by providing some diversity to her blog. So in that regard, I will concentrate on topics that are geared towards the fellas: sports and video games! Tonight, however, I'd like to start off with a more serious topic; DISCRIMINATION. Be it sexual, racial, religious or intellectual, there have been countless articles and discussions around this subject. But I ask, what is our contribution?

I was reading an article the other day that was talking about a "soon to be" drafted football player named Amobi Okoye. (No relation to Christian Okoye) This young man is 19 years of age and has a degree in psychology from the University of Louisville. He has endured much to get to this point in life. Nigerian born Amobi didn't come to the states until he was twelve. He graduated from high school at age 16 and went on to Louisville to play college football. At the beginning of his senior season, Amobi, was voted team captain by his peers. Along the way, however, this young man was singled out because of his age, his heritage and his nationality. From the moment he stepped onto the Louisville campus, "he took pride in being a phenom," according to defensive coordinator Mike Cassity. It drove him as he moved from fourth to second on the depth chart as a 16-year-old freshman and when he was frozen out by older players. And it drove him when he dined alone at Applebee's while other players hit the clubs. But it didn't stop him from calling home to Huntsville to complain about missing the camaraderie of high school. "It was hard for Amobi," says Cardinals cornerback Malik Jackson, one of Okoye's best friends. "There was some animosity toward him."

Have you heard of Jamaal Anderson? Not too many folks have. He's only the least talked about 1st round possible pick entering the 2007 NFL draft. Thanks to a more than humble upbringing, Jamaal has become a model for what we need in today's flashy and often arrogant world of professional sports, we lust for the next T.O. or Chad Johnson. We love to see our favorite players prance around after scoring, as if it were their 1st and last. We love to see what will happen next. Maybe he'll do a back flip or perform CPR or maybe even give the ball to the ref and sit his @** down. Mr. Anderson has learned that you don't have to act a donkey to be successful and to achieve peace of mind. He has relied on the life lessons his deaf father has taught. Because of this, he will be a high 1st round pick; a stable-minded professional player and role model.

Readers, please take this with you. "Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat..." -Matthew 7:13. We must not choose the path of destruction. We need to lift up one another and praise God in everything we do. Discriminating against some one for any reason is pure folly. But doing nothing to contribute to either side is worse.
