If i can have thousands of people cheering my name, if I could have my whole country on my back and make a name for myself, then one person I would want to be is Saul “Canelo” Alvarez. Not only is he a bright, young, and strong boxer, he is an elite fighter that has courage and guts to do what people think is impossible. “Canelo” Alvarez is young prospect rumored to be the next king of the world. If I can represent Mexico in a good way then I would want it to be in the name of “The Pound for Pound Champion of the World.” Saul is strong and smart when it comes to fighting, he’s young and has so many people that look up to him, and best of all, he has so many years of fortune to make his life even greater.
I don’t condone fighting, but boxing is sport that can be a fun and adrenaline rushing. Canelo is an amazing fighter and is speculated to be the next and maybe the last greatest upcoming star that boxing has left. If you want to become a boxer, a strong one, that knows his way around his opponent, then why not pick the young talent that already has a future ahead of him? Saul has a great team and is represented by Golden Boy, another boxing legend. He has a team that helps him formulate a plan of attack, and that plan is attack. He’s smart and brutal, he’s rated as one of the best pound for pound fighters and look at his age! However, he was outgunned by boxing's, questionably, best fighter, Mayweather Jr. In Canelo’s case, he did receive respect from many but also lost credibility. He didn't show up to this match and really showed his weak spot. In order to be the best you have to beat the best, and granted he received his only lost, their will be a rematch and possibly the moment where he is crowned and becomes the next ri...

...an peacefully go to sleep at night, knowing that people would say that and know that I can make the world a better place and not just throw away money on unnecessary things. I am a smart and strong fighter and know how to get to my enemy; it’s necessary to become the next Pound for Pound Champion, I want my whole country to look up to me because it would be the greatest privilege to have in your whole life; knowing that the people respect you and having the ability to represent them in a great way, and finally, I have so much money and fame that you can change the world and make sure you have an leave your mark on it. With all the glory and fame you can actually make yourself known by doing the people a favor and showing that you aren't a typical star; all while enjoying myself and living the life I have at such a young age that I would be more than thankful for.
... do because I want to leave my options open. After landing a job I want to devout myself to that company and really invest myself in them and provide a relationship where I gain something, yet the company gains something from me as well. My last step is to really make a name for myself whether it is in Nashville, New York, or Los Angela’s. I want people to recognize me for the things I’ve accomplished in my life because of my determination and perseverance. I don’t have talent with playing instruments or singing but I know I am great with business and I really want to prove myself to the world so that people hear my name and know my legacy. I don’t say this in a way to seem cocky but I say it to show confidence because I know that I can make an impact on society if I really try. That is my end goal; make an impact on the world to better it for future generations.
In retrospect, his 'rebellious' actions and persistent attitude could have been very harmful and he possibly could have got in a lot of trouble. He was given the duty of shoveling the snow on the hockey rink, and he decided to 'practice' playing the game; despite him not being allowed to, he says “I began to stash a hockey stick in the snow beside the boards. Once I'd made sure no one was around, I'd dig it out and run to the barn for a handful of frozen horse turds I'd bury beside the door […] Canada do.” (Wagamese, 61). Once Saul was introduced to this game he was so driven to play for himself; realistically any reaction could have came from him doing this, he could have been beaten and yelled at. Unfortunately his persistence attitude could be bad for him and his safety in many
De La Hoya, earned $9 million dollars for the bout and preserved his position as boxing non--heavy weight superstar.
“Mr. Felder is one of the people in Tuskegee that I must see whenever I visit my old alma mater; he is one of Tuskegee's natural treasures. Tuskegee wouldn't be the same without him,” says class of '92 graduate Mike Landrum. Upon entering Mr. Felder’s shop, I was not only taken aback by the enormous amount of “Skegee gear,” but by the liveliness and mobility of this elderly, slender fair-skinned man. I felt that Mr. Felder was a very humble man who is truly passionate about his work.
The arrest of Joaquin ‘El Chapo’ Guzman was a victorious circumstance for the Mexican government, who have been closing down on his presence for the recent past years. Mexican authorities began taking down high ranked members of the Sinaloa Cartel including two of Guzman’s main associates. On February 22, 2014, the world’s most wanted man had also been captured. Although the biggest drug lord has been captured, the crime and violence left behind cannot be forgotten.
Through the years, individuals have shown that a single man can make a difference. Men who, when committed to a cause, will rise up with honor, integrity, and courage. Cesar Chavez was such a man. He represented the people and rose above his self concerns to meet the needs of the people. Cesar Chavez showed us that, “The highest form of freedom carries with it the greatest measure of discipline.” He lived by this standard and fought freedom with the highest form of dignity and character.
The truth about the freedom we have now comes from the years people fought in order to be able to get it. We can go back and see people such as Abraham Lincoln, Nelson Mandela or Martin Luther King where each one fought in a different way, but all of them tried to accomplish freedom or at least the right to be treated equally. One man that fought for the people to be equally, more specific farmers, was Cesar Chavez. He was a civil rights activist and also a labor leader, who fought hard, so that farmers could be treated equally. His life is remarkable because of his complicated years when he was young, the hardships he had to endure as he got older and finally he got the recognition he deserved after his death.
“Whatever comes next for me, as far as boxing is concerned, I have no regrets. I would never change what I've accomplished and the history I've made.” (Oscar De La Hoya). This quote was said by the one and only Oscar De La Hoya, the man who I chose to write about. Oscar was born in Los Angeles, CA on February 4, 1973. His nationality is American from a Mexican origin and comes from a boxing family. His nickname was “The Golden Boy”. I chose Oscar De La Hoya, because he is the greatest boxer known to man.
