I always find it amusing when people judge an athlete’s performance based on how they feel about them as a person. I mean I get it, but it still makes no sense. You can be a horrible human being and allegedly kill your ex-wife and her friend, get acquitted, and later be sent to prison for robbing someone of your own belongings. That does not mean you were not one hell of a running back. What does that have to do with Sugar Ray Leonard and his book you ask? Well before reading this book I had a picture of Sugar Ray that has completely changed. Before starting this book I always looked at Ray Leonard (I’m not going to keep calling that man Sugar, Yo!) as a member of the Abnegation faction but now I see him as a member of the Dauntless faction. If you’ve never read the Divergent books or seen the movie, that last sentence will make no sense to you; but if you have, you will recognize my genius.
I’ve read a lot of athletes’ memoirs and boxers seem to be the most transparent and have the most interesting stories. Then again, someone who makes a living trying to hurt another human being while also taking punishment from said human being has got to be off their rocker to begin with. Mike Tyson has set the bar in terms of being transparent and having an amazing story, so Ray Leonard’s book had a lot to live up to. Although Ray Leonard’s book was released first, I read the Tyson book first. This is no Tyson story but it is interesting in its own way (S/O to Todd Bridges for inspiring Ray Leonard to tell his story). I grew up in the Tyson era so I knew of many of his hardships and troubles. My opinion of Ray Leonard before this book was of someone who was articulate, athletic, marketable, a nice guy who happened to be a pugilist specialist (No Bosh). My brother B. Austin believes that Ray Leonard is overrated in terms of his boxing ability and I’ve always disagreed. One thing we’ve always agreed on is his image. That image has been shattered by his honesty in this book where he speaks about faking blackouts to make weight, sexual assault, drug abuse, and his obsession with finding “talent” in various cities for the purpose of fornication. A lot of time is spent discussing how he disrespected his first wife and how he was addicted to intercourse with all types of women. Don’t get me wrong, all men love yoni (unless you live an alternative lifestyle, and if you do, God bless you) but boxers seem to be bigger addicts then most of us.
There are also parts of this book that make you appreciate Ray Leonard as a pugilist. It’s obvious how serious he took his sport and how he strategized before fights. It’s also great to hear the respect he has for his fellow boxers, especially the men with whom he had his classic bouts. Another part of the book that made me appreciate Ray Leonard the athlete was how serious he took self-improvement and wanting to be a well-rounded person. He worked on his speech and image. He also talked about how many Blacks considered him a “sell-out” because he was well spoken. I can relate to that. Many of us have self-hatred that goes back to slavery and how systematically we were made to see ourselves as inferior (I won’t get into that now). I remember I was once called spoiled because I knew who both of my parents were (WTF?).
After reading this, I have a completely different idea of who Ray Leonard is/was. I respect him for being open and honest about his life even though he doesn’t come off as the good guy at all. We live in a world where everyone is judgmental and wants to hold people to higher moral standards than we do ourselves. I’ve also read athletes’ biographies where they talk about their life as if they did no wrong and they are the perfect person (S/O to Shaq), and we all know that’s unrealistic and a bunch of cow dung. I would recommend this book to all sports fans, especially people who are fans of the “sweet science”. Ray Leonard may not be the man he was marketed to be but he is brutally honest and maybe someone can learn something from his story. I doubt it though, because “The Nookie” has been making men do stupid things since the beginning of time, and some things never change.

Floyd “Money” Mayweather is one of the most polarizing people, not only in the sport of boxing, but in sports period. He, in my opinion, has single handedly allowed the sport of boxing to remain relevant. Since Mike Tyson, no other fighter has accumulated as much money, notoriety, and casual fan attention besides Mayweather. With that being said, “What Happens After Floyd Mayweather”?
There are hundreds of boxers all over the world but are there any up and coming fighters that possess the skill and theatre quality that Mayweather brings to each fight/show? Besides Ali, no one in the fight business can promote a fight like “Money” Mayweather, which is why he makes more cash than any athlete in the world. Mayweather has a unique relationship with fans, many hate him and many love him. I’m pretty sure there are fight fans who order Mayweather fights to see if some fighter will finally shut him up. Which again I ask, What Happens After Mayweather? There were so many candidates who were supposed to be ready to take the place of Mayweather but have not succeeded to keep their star or win loss record in a positive state. Though undefeated is hard to go against, none of the present fighters have the charisma that Mayweather has, nor his work ethic. Prime example, Adrien Broner, who was almost anointed next to take Mayweather’s throne as pound for pound king, until he was embarrassed by Marcos Maidana. Andre Ward, to many, has been pinpointed to match Mayweather in skill and an undefeated record, but lacks the crossover appeal that Mayweather has to sell pay-per-view. Saul Alvarez had a shot but Mayweather out-classed him in their bout on 9/14/2013. Gernady Golovkin has a shot to be a special figure in boxing but he needs to have more meaningful fights to get anywhere near where Mayweather is ranked. “What Happens After Mayweather”? Even if he loses his next bout vs Marcos Maidana scheduled for 9/14/2014, is it safe to say that “Money” Mayweather has been boxing’s “savior” for the last decade?
So who will be the next money-making fighter to bring about paydays as Mayweather did? Andre Ward and Gernady Golovkin have the chance to really do numbers but neither will have formidable foes to make their careers have more relevancy. Who is out there that these two can really face to pose any threat to their undefeated records? Will Ward ever show a more promotional side or will he remain the clean-cut, boring nice guy we like but not love or love to hate? Not saying it’s bad to be clean-cut but boring is not good for business. Mayweather’s fights are not the most exciting, usually because he has already won the fight mentally before the event begins. Floyd “Money” Mayweather may be the last of his kind. “Sugar” Ray Leonard, Ali, Roy Jones Jr, Mike Tyson, Oscar De la Hoya, etc. Boxers should see these next 2-3 years as an opportunity to make their own case for “What Happens after Floyd Mayweather”. Will the sport stay afloat or will it decline even more?

If people caught the conversations inside “the locker room of War Room Sports”, we would be banned, jailed, lynched, hung at the stake, and neutered. My point being, as human beings we all can be insensitive in our conversations about other human beings. Our prejudices can and do at times rear their ugly heads. However, a consistent pattern of behavior towards others with certain malicious undertones indicates something more than prejudice or general ignorance. Donald Sterling is the personification of something a little more heinous, and a line of thinking that has gone unchecked for far too long.
Through my travels on the world wide Web and interactions with the “internets”, there are a couple points I am putting out there in conversations regarding “The Donald Sterling Affair”: 1) We as black people ARE irate, as we should be, but we should remember it is not illegal to be racist. It is not illegal to express racist beliefs. Power behind any belief in this country comes from economic viability, exposure to to a mass audience, and support from that audience. We have all supported Donald Sterling. How you might ask? By and large, passive inaction. He has a history of this behavior that has gone unchecked and ignored. He was already awarded an NAACP image award and was going to win a lifetime achievement award next month. Due diligence was not done by us, or even more frightening, was ignored as insignificant. 2) This point I will state facts and ask a question. Donald Sterling purchased the Clippers for roughly $15 million. They are presently worth $770MM. When an owner or ownership team is selected and awarded a team by the league and the committee of other owners, VAST amounts of due diligence is done because that owner now represents the other owners and a larger global brand, with an audience of billions. Even 30 years ago, due diligence was fairly stringent with David Stern. Do you think the owners and NBA administration were not aware? What is their culpability in this? 3) America turns a blind and cowardly eye to her current pathologies born from her past transgressions and trauma. This perpetuates cowardice and weak character because we don’t inject responsibility, accountability, and acknowledgement into our discussions about race, where we are, where we’ve been, and what is going on now. 4) Black people (and others); stop chastising and criticizing these players for not risking their financial livelihood by boycotting. The vacuum in Black leadership can be blamed for their lack of “lay it on the line, John Carlos-like” actions. They took adequate steps and may continue to protest. At the end of the day, on any pro sports team, you play for the money, the love of the game, your teammates, your coach, and the fans…not ownership. To expect them to risk $62 million (or any percentage of that salary number) is unfair. If they did boycott, it would have been noble, honorable, and a beautiful thing, but not necessarily smart, as it would give Sterling an “out” of “non-performance” in any later legal proceedings or arbitration in an attempt to relieve him of ownership. 5) America; stop being so shocked and surprised at these racist feelings and circumstances rearing their ugly heads. We have not come that far and quite honestly we may have regressed due to societal and cultural declines in recent years. Not to mention these are older white men who control and operate the socio-economic engines. They grew up in the 40s, 50s, 60s. They are direct descendants and/or participants in Jim Crow’s sons’ and grandsons’ views. 6) What is a 20-something woman of Black and Mexican decent doing dating Donald Sterling? Does this remind you of the slave master’s relationship with Black female slaves? He can hate pieces of you but exploit the things he wants? 7) Ultimately the true response and changing of the societal tides lie with the people, the fans. The players, the owners, etc are major stakeholders but nowhere near as powerful as the fan. In today’s society where the culture of immediacy and sensationalism is prevalent, how long will this remain an issue that the people are committed to? WHAT WILL YOU DO? NOT ANYONE ELSE. Fight their power, become better people, and this goes away in generations and centuries.
