Brazil produces death traps

Everyday in Brazil cars, about 10,000 of them, are flying off the assembly line and into Brazil's middle class. The cars are having some malfunctions, their safety features are weak and weak welds. Thousands of Brazilians are dying in accidents that aren't actually that bad, the cars are the reason that they're dying. South America already has some pretty dangerous driving conditions, which really doesn't help the fact that their cars suck. The US in 2010 went down in car wreck fatalities by 40%, while Brazil went up by 72%! That's outrageous, something should be done about these cars. Even the doctors are saying that these injuries are very ugly, and they are unnecessary.

Mayweather may not be one of the best...

Floyd Mayweather Jr. might be the best of his time, but there's no way that he will be ranked within the top 10 of all time. Maybe if he actually started to fight real fighters he could be called the best. He has been avoiding fights with Manny Pacquiao and Canelo Alvarez, both of whom are probably his toughest competition. He has already avoided a fight with Manny, and is making excuses with Canelo. Floyd is a good fighter, he is 44-0 in his career and a flat out outstanding fighter, but without him fighting a worthy opponent people aren't going to be believers. He is supposed to retire after 2 more fights so hopefully we can see him fight a real fighter.
