Where would/do Roberto Duran and Sugar Ray Leonard rank among The Greatest P4P Boxers of ALL-TIME???

1. Where do they rank in relationship to each other???

AND...

2. Where do they rank among ALL the other P4P Legends in the Sport???

I have a business opportunity that I want people to know about, and I really want to make a short animated/cartoon informational video that explains the business. However, I honestly have NO IDEA how to do that! Is there a program I can buy, class I can take, website that I can use, etc...

ANY practical information about how to do this quickly would be helpful and appreciated! I'm not all that technically savvy, so please explain it in simple terms, and THANK YOU!!!

Abraham Lincoln once said, "You can please some of the people some of the time, all of the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time, but you can NEVER please ALL of the people ALL of the time."

I feel bad for the writers, because they ran out of source material from the novels a long time ago, since George RR Martin, hasn't released another volume is quite a while! I also feel bad for them because, there was supposed to be ten seasons, and more episodes, but... the actors were DONE with the series, since many of them became pretty famous from the series, and want to pursue more lucrative endeavors. In order to finish the show, they HAD to rush things!!! And, whenever that happens, fans are going to be mad! But, at least SOME of this was unavoidable given the circumstances they were dealt with!

With THAT said, I am NOT so happy either!!! I especially was NOT happy about the ending, or how Jon Snow/Aegon Targaryen was punished his WHOLE LIFE for repeatedly being a good guy, with no pay off in the end! I mean WHAT A RAW DEAL!!! I'm not sure if being executed would have been worse!!! Poor guy can't catch a break!!!

Then there is Jamie who season after season is going through a path of repentance and redemption just to throw it ALL away in the end, Danny goes mad, etc...

But, I really want to know what everyone hated so much about season eight, and I want to read what you have to say! Thank you!

***SPOILER ALERT***

If you have NOT seen the series finale of Game of Thrones, you should probably STOP reading this question.

To those of you who have... a... ???

I get that they sent him BACK to "The Wall," but... there's no night's watch left, and... MORE IMPORTANTLY... it REALLY doesn't look like Jon plans to man the wall! It LOOKS LIKE... he is saying, "F THAT," and is going to live North of the Wall with the Wildings!? So, which is it... is he planning to rebuild the Nights Watch, or is he living in the Arctic tundra with the Wildings, as a Wilding???

I'm going to be buying a handgun in the next couple of days. I want to own a powerful, semi-automatic compact type pistol, and I am partial to Glocks. I know that the 10mm Glock 29 is powerful, and so is the .45 Glock 30. I like both guns, and have fired them both at the range, but I'm having trouble picking between the two.

For me, its going to come down to power! I know that both gun pack a punch, which does anyone know which packs the bigger punch?! Like which has more knockdown power?! Which does more damage?!

I know that SOME of these factors would be determined by what type of bullets/rounds I buy, but overall... is there a clear winner here???

.

With both their illustrious careers coming to a close... how highly do you think these two boxing icons will rank among the top P4P ALL-TIME GREATS!!! Obviously, NEITHER OF THEM CAN APPROACH SUGAR RAY ROBINSON STATUS... but, I think they rank pretty high still!!!

Pacquiao's the first and ONLY 8-Division World Champion, between the two of them they've beaten scores of World Champions, and quite a few Hall of Famers too! Do you think they make the top ten, top twenty, top thirty, or top fifty???

.

Pacquiao's performance was pretty similar to how he looked when he fought Chris Algeri, and even at 40 he's got plenty left, even if he's not quite the same as "Prime Pacquiao."

However, as far as Adrien Broner... WHAT WAS THAT?! I KNOW Broner has ALWAYS struggled to let his hands go, but 7-8 punches landed per round?!?!?! Even for Broner?! WTF?!?!?! I have seen fighters RUN before, but NEVER have I seen a fighter RUN like that! I mean Broner was acting like Pacquiao was swinging a knife at him! It was the most cowardly performance I have ever seen!

Also, what fight were the judges watching?!?!?! TWO JUDGES GAVE BRONER FOUR ROUNDS?!?!?! It's like they were trying to rob Pacquiao, but it got SO RIDICULOUS that they backed out! If you want to be excessively generous two Broner there were exactly TWO rounds... that you defensibly MIGHT have been able to GIFT him (the 4th and 10th), but HONESTLY... I DO NOT THINK HE DESERVED EVEN THAT!!! I saw it as a a shut-out 120-108! Broner just did a little better than he had been doing in the 4th and 10th, but not enough to win the rounds when Pacquiao was the aggressor, and the ONLY ONE FIGHTING!!!

Then there was Adrien Broner's delusional behavior following his cowardly performance! I mean, seriously?!?!?! Is he psychotic?! IDK?! My GF's mom who watched the fight asked me if they give points for running away!

Broner was hurt a few times, was it Pac's power that had him fighting like that?!

I'd love to hear everybody's thoughts!

.

With a story-book career, and being arguably the very best of his era... Manny Pacquiao has nothing left to prove. Most people (myself included) believe that even at age 40, Pacquiao is still probably too much for Broner. It'll still probably be fun to watch, but does it do ANYTHING for Pacquiao's legacy if he wins?! It probably hurts it some if he looses, and there isn't much of an upside. What's the point of fighting Broner?! I would have thought Pacquiao would maybe come back to fight Mikey Garcia or Vasyl Lomachenko at 140, or possibly a rematch against Floyd Mayweather, at least those fights would improve his legacy! If it's money Manny's after... those fights would certainly earn him MUCH more than Broner, and would improve his legacy. What's the upside to fighting Broner?! Does it do ANYTHING for Manny's legacy?!

For all his many quirks, Freddie Roach took Manny Pacquiao from zero to hero! He used to describe Manny as his son! The two took over the sport of boxing together! They always seemed so close in the 24/7 shows etc...

I just don't understand what happened between Manny Pacquiao and Freddie Roach! These two used to be cooler than peanut butter and jelly, and then... after 17 years of working together, Pacquiao kept him out of the Lucas Matthysse fight seemingly out of nowhere! Freddie Roach in all the youtube videos was all mopey about it, saying he doesn't know anything, and that Pacquiao just won't call him. Not ever! Then... NOW... Pacquiao is bringing back Freddie Roach for the Adrian Broner fight?!?!?! What's up with that?!?!?

As far as I know, Pacquiao NEVER gives a reason for the split, or for bringing him back! Freddie Roach don't provide any reasons either, and just seems to complain like my mom does, that Pacquiao doesn't call very often. It just seems inconceivable to me that something didn't happen after/during the Jeff Horn fight, but does ANYBODY KNOW WHAT IT WAS, and/or WHY ITS COOL NOW?!?!?

The "Klitschko Era" was not especially helpful to the sport of boxing and/or the heavyweight division, especially because the brothers largely refused to fight in the United States, but their combined dominance of the heavyweight division was impressive, and lasted a LONG time.

I see Wladimir get a LOT of respect, but I think Vitali is overlooked, and was arguably better than Wladimir.

Wladimir has been savagely knocked out by Ross Puritty and Corrie Sanders.

By comparison... Vitali savagely knocked out Ross Puritty and Corrie Sanders.

Wladimir just barely escaped with a very narrow win over Samuel Peter, in a fight where he was very hurt, and knocked down twice.

By comparison... Vitali easily and effortlessly beat the holy goodness out of Samuel Peter, and stopped him in the 8th.

Vitali has consistently done better than Wladimir against common opponents, yet... very unlike his brother HAS NEVER BEEN KNOCKED DOWN!!!

Vitali has ONLY LOST TWICE!!! AND... BOTH TIMES HE WAS WINNING THE FIGHT!!! Vitali was beating Lennox Lewis comfortably, ahead on ALL THREE judge's cards, and was dominating LENNOX FREAKING LEWIS prior to the stoppage because of the cut, and forced Lwis to retire just so he wouldn't have to fight Vitali again, and Vitali's only other loss was because he dislocated his shoulder during a match with Chis Byrd, who he was also beating!

And, Wladomir lost to Tyson Fury... so yeah, that happened.

My question to you is... who was the greater Klitschko?

.

Who is the GREATEST P4P Hispanic/Latino boxer of ALL-TIME???

AND... WHY?!?!?!

There are SO MANY to choose from, I would like to hear which ONE you think is the p4p BEST, and explain WHY...

Of the top of my head I think the choice for TOP Hispanic/Latino boxer will be between...

Roberto Duran, Carlos Monzon, Julio Caesar Chavez Sr., Alexis Arguello, Juan Manuel Marquez, and Oscar De La Hoya.

I would like to hear your thoughts, and rationale!!!

.

For the purpose of this question... lets say that the modern era spans from 1980- 2018

ANY WEIGHT CLASS

.

Politically, I am a centrist. I agree and disagree with many issues on both the RIGHT and LEFT. I like to think about issues, use common sense, analyze data, and form opinions based on available facts. Furthermore, I strongly believe that conservative and liberal ideologies are BOTH vital to a functional... American style democracy.

TOO FAR RIGHT= Nazi Germany

TOO FAR LEFT= Communist USSR

BALANCE= United States of America

I think on some level, most Americans must realize this, but its gotten lost somewhere! All I ever hear nowadays has little to NOTHING to do with actual issues! Politics have devolved to personal attacks, fear mongering, and propaganda. Its ALL RIGHT vs. LEFT, RED vs. BLUE, Conservative vs. Liberal, Republican vs. Democrat. Fox News, MSNBC, and CNN are propaganda channels, that maybe do a little news on the side.

I could be wrong, but I am pretty sure that there used to be a lot of things BOTH parties used to agree on, and they were able to reach compromises. Today, ALL REPUBLICANS and ALL DEMOCRATS seem to just mindlessly support their parties platform. They're like cults! Or gangs! Its like Crips vs. Bloods!

Historically, NOT counting the Civil War era... has the United Sates ever been so divided?! Will we see a return to logic, rational reason-ability, or is it just going to get worse?! What is the resolution?! Are we headed for another civil war?! Will states start succeeding again?! How will this s**t storm end?!

.

The current political landscape is very tragic to me. Its all about teams now. RED vs. BLUE, Republican vs. Democrat, Liberal vs. Conservative, etc...

What happened to actually trying to improve America?!?!?!

I honestly think that either side would purposefully do something KNOWING that it would be horrible for the country, if they thought it would hurt the other party!

I think that there needs to be a healthy balance of Liberal and Conservative ideals. If you go too far to the LEFT you have Communism like the USSR under Stalin, and if you go too far to the RIGHT you have Nazi Germany under Hitler. Neither were good! The "money spot" needs to be somewhere in-between.

In this modern political climate, I find that it is getting harder and harder to actually talk to people about politics! It seems like people want to mindlessly support and defend their "TEAM" irrespective if what they're doing makes sense or not!

That's what I really like about Ben Shapiro, and to a slightly lesser extent Trevor Noah because they're both very intelligent, and they're totally opposite to each other, yet... they both make compelling arguments.

That's what I would like to see in actual politicians! Instead... I just see propaganda, hysteria, posturing, and emotional reactions! What happened to electing smart people that will actually talk to each other?!

What do you think about these two guys? And, about intelligent debate in politics?!

In ANY functional democratic society we have to have people that disagree! We can debate issues, and make reasonable decisions. A Republican/Conservative party is a natural construct that makes sense as an important idealism that values family, small government, fiscal responsibility, and stabilizes the status quo. Likewise, the Democratic/Liberal party is natural, and makes an equal amount of sense ideologically, programs that offer help to the less fortunate, equality for minority groups, and to progress to a higher/better status quo.

At the extreme end of BOTH ideologies... it is NOT GOOD!!! At the extreme end of Liberal/Left Wing ideology you have Communism as it was under Joseph Stalin, and at the extreme end of Conservative/Right Wing ideology, you have Feudalism as in Nazi Germany under Hitler. Neither were very good!!!

What makes America so great is balance!

Nobody is talking about the issues anymore, and Republicans and Democrats aren't even following the guiding principles of what their respective parties are supposed to even be about!

All there is in American politics is Right vs. Left, Red vs. Blue!!! Nobody is even trying to be reasonable! Its all about US vs. THEM, no debates, no open dialogue, just non-stop propaganda, fear mongering, and hysteria!

WTF HAPPENED TO US?!?!?!?!?!?

Most importantly, how do we get back to a functional democracy where we actually focus on issues... NOT individual people and team fighting???

GGG and Canelo the FIRST time around, seemed to have a lot of respect for each other, and looked like GGG chasing Canelo down trying to fight, and Canelo trying to run, and land short combinations in bursts, and then go back to running. GGG won cleanly, but then the judges got involved and ruined it with a draw.

This time, I think the judges will be held to a higher standard, and the fighters genuinely dislike each other, are we going to see fireworks, or will it be just like the first fight?! On paper, this should have been a boxing classic! But, Canelo didn't come to fight the first time, do you think it will be different this time around?!

What do you think will happen??? How do you see it going down this time???

.

Manny looked good against Matthysse! Pacquiao can still mix it up with the young Lions in and around his weight class. He also has that name, that I'm sure a lot of young fighters would like to have on their resume. If Pacquiao had it his way, he would probably want a rematch with Mayweather, but that isn't likely to happen.

So that leaves Vasyl Lomachenko, Mikey Garcia, Shawn Porter, Amir Khan, Jeff Horn, Terrance Crawford, Errol Spence, and Danny Garcia.

Mikey Garcia and Shawn Porter seem hellbent on fighting Errol Spence, so... maybe whichever one doesn't get Spence gets Pacquiao as a consolation prize?! However, Lomachenko might be an interesting matchup too! Pacquiao could easily fight him at a catch-weight of 140, and it would be interesting to see a faded Pacquiao against a smaller, but outrageously phenomenal guy! Pacquiao vs. Amir Khan also has appeal, as the two had been stable-mates, and have since parted with Freddie Roach.

Personally, I don't care to see a Jeff Horn rematch, that guy fought so dirty, and is such a piece of crap, I don't want to see him rewarded with another lucrative fight. Pacquiao may fight Danny Garcia, even though Garcia lost a close decision to Porter, bouncing back to face Pacquiao would be a hell of a comeback opportunity, and Pacquiao MIGHT still be good enough to beat Garciao too! Alternatively, there is Crawford and Spence, both of whom are probably just too dangerous for a faded aging PAC, but... who knows?! Thoughts?!

I have never written a book before.I love writing, and I have been told by a few professors in college that I have a gift for it. I've been wanting to write a book for a long time, and I have been planning and thinking through plot details for a good stretch. I'm nearly ready to start writing.

However... on what platform should I use when I start writing it?! Am I supposed to just open up a microsoft word document?! I mean this thing is going to be long! I might want to be able to go back in, and correct things. Is there a special platform that real authors use when they write their novels?! Does anybody know???

In all modern humans (Homo Sapiens), we have 46 chromosomes, 23 from each parent. All of our closest living relatives (Chimps, Gorillas, Orangutans)... they all have 48 chromosomes, 24 from each parent. What about the other hominids???

Australopithecus Afarensis,Homo Floresiensis, Homo Erectus, Homo Habilis,Homo Heidelbergensis, Homo Ergaster, Homo Rudolfensis, Homo Neanderthalis, Homo Denisovan, etc...

There were so many prehistoric hominids that many don't even have names, and there are likely dozens that have not yet been discovered, and dozens that will never be discovered. SO my question IS... has anyone looked into, or been able to look into at what stage hominids went from having 48 chromosomes to having 46?! That would probably give insight into who our non Homo Sapien ancestors were, and what line we descend from!

Its very likely that Neanderthals and Denisovans like us... had 46 chromosomes, because we know that we interbred with them in prehistory. I have to imagine that if we could successfully interbreed with them, they must have also had 46 chromosomes. However, what about the other hominids?! Does anyone know???
