If you have any idea, who worth to be called a Sport Legend, just write to us and give the reasons. We will consider it.

When talking about Laila Ali, we always remember to talk about his father, the ultimate boxing legend, Muhammad Ali. Lalia is the second child of Muhammad Ali and his third wife Veronica Porsche Ali. Now the question is, can we categorized her as a sport legends too? Too answer that, let's talk about her professional career first.

Laila was born on December 30, 1977. She started her professional career in December 8, 1999. Until now, her professional record is 24 wins (21 KO's) - 0 draw - 0 loss. She currently rated at Super Midleweight Class (72.5 Kg) and hold the IBA, WIBA, IWBF world title.



One of her famous fights was in 2001 when she faced Jackie Frazier-Lyde the daughter of other boxing legend, Joe Frazier. The fight was nicknamed Ali/Frazier IV in allusion to their fathers' famous fight trilogy. Ali won by a majority judges' decision in eight rounds. Laila Ali last fight was on November 11, 2006 with a TKO win against Shelley Burton. She gave birth to her first son Curtis Muhammad Conway Jr. on August 26, 2008, which prevented her to coming back to boxing ring.



The Conclusion

So, does all her records make her a sport legend? Despite her undefeated record and world title, criticism always following her career. Other top women's boxing champions such as (24-1), Ann WolfeVonda Ward (23-1), Leatitia Robinson (15-1), and Natasha Ragosina (21-0) have claimed in interviews that they have challenged Laila Ali many times over the years, but Laila has always found ways of avoiding them. Boxing writers and fans have repeatedly expressed disappointment in Ali's failure to fight the top contenders over the years.

So, I said she's just on her way to become a boxing legend like her father. Whether she can make it or not, depends on her decision to come back to fighting again or not.

Martin Palermo saves Diego Maradona faces and Argentina chance in 2010 World Cup Qualifying, when he scored the winning goal against Peru in October 10,2009. Argentina chance to qualified to South Africa stills need to be determined in Uruguay when they face head to head battle against the home side. The coach, Maradona, hopes Martin Palermo score again in this match. He's so happy with Palermo come back after not playing in national team for 10 years. He even called him Saint Palermo for saving his country.

Here is the best goal from Palermo, when he sored with a header from 40 m range!!

Saturday night (19/9) in MGM Grand Arena, Las Vegas, boxing match was held. Chris John of Indonesia retained his title with a unanimous decision win against Houston's Rocky Juarez. Floyd Mayweather Jr. defeated Juan Manuel Marquez in the main event. The resemblance from this two fights is John and Mayweather Jr. hold their undefeated status. Thus, these two now is in the road of become the real sport legends in boxing.

Chris John Retains WBA Featherweight Title

Indonesia's native hero Chris John got a late scare but retained his World Boxing Association featherweight title with a unanimous 12-round decision over American Rocky Juarez. John was in control of Saturday's fight, despite a swollen left eye, when Juarez connected with a left that had John's knees sagging with less than a minute left in the 12th round.

The judges scores: a ridiculous 114-113 by Glen Hamada and reasonable tallies of 119-109 for Adalaide Byrd and 117-111 for Herb Santos. "It was a very tough fight," John said. "In the last round, I was hurt. My eye was really swelling up. I kept on fighting because of my idol Arturo Gatti. That's what kept me going."

Juarez opened with aggression, but it was John that landed the damaging blows, including a big right and a left hook. The fourth and fifth belonged to John, with crisp boxing and effective punching. Juarez stepped up his attack in the sixth, and by the closing rounds John appeared to be tiring, his punches less precise and powerful. But even when Juarez rocked him in the last, John stayed on his wobbly legs long enough.

John made the 11th defence of the title he won in June 2004, when he dethroned Japan's Osamu Sato.

Juarez (28-5-1, 20 KOs) won a silver medal in 2000 Olympics, making him a significant prospect before his first pro fight. However, he never quite lived up to expectations even though he came very close. He lost two title fights to Marco Antonio Barrera (the first a split decision), one title fight to Marquez and drew and lost to John. Juarez was unfortunate, in a sense. The three opponents who beat him are a boxing legends and the best of their generation and likely Hall of Famers.


Mayweather Comeback Goes Smoothly

Coming back from a 21-month layoff, multi-division world champion Floyd “Money” Mayweather Jr. (40-0, 25 KOs) took a one-sided twelve round unanimous decision over Juan Manuel Marquez (50-5-1, 37 KOs) in a welterweight clash on Saturday night at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. The bigger, quicker Mayweather dropped Marquez in round two with a left hook and pretty much had his way the entire twelve rounds. Scores were 118-109, 120-107, 119-108.

Tough this bout was not for title, the fight was very interesting to watched. Marquez is tough as nails,” Mayweather said. “He’s a great little man. He was really hard to fight, and he kept taking some unbelievable shots.” Marquez was a 130-pounder just 18 months ago, but the Mexican champion moved up two weight classes to be Mayweather’s hand-picked comeback opponent at the MGM Grand Garden.

Much of the History of Football (Soccer, for Americans) can be told by telling the History of FIFA World Cups. Except for the pioneer editions (when teams were invited to participate, and sometimes refused), all the best teams in the world want to participate in the World Cup (there are more countries affiliated with FIFA than with the United Nations). And all the best players in the world want to defend their countries in the World Cup.

Speaking of FIFA World Cups History, the first thing that come to mind is definetly about Brazil. Brazil is the only country to participate of the seventeen World Cups; Brazil has been five times champion (1958, 1962, 1970, 1994, 2002), vice-champion in two editions (1950 and 1998) and semi-finalist in other three (1938, 1974 and 1978). Several of the best players in History of football were Brazilian, and most of them left their register in the World Cups.

Next Year in South Africa, Brazil will try to continue their legacy in World Cups history by claiming their 6th victory. And the first step to do that has been passed by advanced to the finals after defeat their archenemy Argentina 3-1 in South American zone of 2010 World Cups Qualification.



With players like Luis Fabiano, Robinho, Ronaldinho, Daniel Alves, Julio Cesar, and lead by the most expensive footballers in the universe Ricky Kaka, all team who want to defeat Brazil must give their best performance, including the current World Champion, Italy.

Besides, every time Brazil played, we get the chance to meet this kind of supporter:
