Check out these sites I have come across:

Boxing: The Mover and The Shaker



I am not a sport expert, at all. BUT I believe that Mike Tyson and Manny Pacquiao have moved and shook the boxing world. So Please enjoy these videos and articles featuring these Little Napoleons.
Looking at this interview, I believe Mike Tyson agrees 38s- 1:12s:

Grieving for Osama Bin Laden


I was at the club celebrating my recent birthday. I see an old friend of mine and we meet, embrace and I say "Hi, how are you?" He replies "Whats up? Osama Bin Laden is dead." I actually did not respond to him at all, and went past the weird remark that this man is dead. Not until later in the night, getting a margarita beginning to be inebriated that I see the news on the club's TV's. People are rallying near the white house it appears and it is being repeated over and over that this man is dead.

I am one of those people that believe in reading between the lines of news coverage in America, never truly believing what a professor or a teacher has said to me and understanding that my country was built on acts of terrorist, on the backs of oppression and deciet and continues to try to rule the world with a military fist.

Lines which are meant to stir up an image of an evil insignificant man who needed to died at the hands of United States Army men, a mere justification of illegal action that the United States took against Pakistan and Osama Bin Laden. Please check out the 2 articles for yourself, please think and readjust your ideas of justice that the American government is trying to superimpose on our minds.


May Osama Bin laden rest in peace, may judgment passed upon him be made only by the most high.
