    Floyd Mayweather Jr. is a boxing promoter and professional boxer. He currently owns a team in the NASCAR Cup Series named The Money Team Racing.  He is undefeated in boxing, winning 15 major world championships from super featherweight to light middleweight.

    He is definitely one of the greatest boxers in the world. He has inspired so many boxers all over the world.  Here are some quotes I like by Floyd:

    “No-One’s perfect. There’s only two things perfect- GOD and my Boxing Record”

    “A true champion can adapt to anything”

    “When you’re the best, you only want to surround yourself with the best”

    Floyd has won plenty of awards and he was inducted into the international Boxing Hall of Fame.  He is one of the highest paid athletes in the world. I got to give him his roses today. He has been teaching others that want to be a boxer, including his family. He is fast and great at what he does.

    What are some of the greatest moments you would like to share with Floyd? Also make sure to follow me @Cece.Atl.

    Muhammad Ali was a professional boxer. They called him “The Greatest” heavyweight boxer of all time.     

    He was definitely one of our favorite sports icons.  Did you know that Muhammad Ali fought Joe Bugner for the first time. He was gifted a bedazzled, Elvis styled robe from Elvis Presley himself. Muhammad Ali was never one to back down from a fight? His legacy  will be remembered forever. Here is some of quotes By him:

    “Don’t quit-suffer now, and live the rest of your life as a champion.”

    “Every man wants to believe in himself. And every man wants to become fearless. We become heroes when we stand up for what we believe in.”

    “Nobody has to tell me that this is a serious business. I’m not fighting one man, showing a lot of em, here is one man they couldn’t defeat, couldn’t conquer. My mission is to bring freedom to 30 million black people.”

    I enjoyed the movie Ali, it was good, and Will Smith played his role really well. It showed part of his life journey. If you haven’t checked it out, you should watch it.
