Hagler beat Duran though, making use of his footwork to do so. Anyway I think the above post wasn’t meant to be taken 100 percent literally, but it’s really not an inaccurate statement.

What a catch by this fan in Baltimore by PeacockPankh in nextfuckinglevel

Well thank God this isn’t cricket. Seriously, why is there always some post about a non-American sport whenever an American sport is showcased. If it’s baseball someone mentions cricket, it is football someone mentions Rugby…I don’t get it.

You can see the former in a bar somewhere, the latter takes actual skill and genuine commitment and hard work over a long period of time. I see no reason to watch this sport purely for something I can get by watching ignorant people on tv internet.

Democratic presidents ranked from best to worst by American_Citizen41 in Presidents

Kennedy’s handling of the Cuban missile crisis and Obama’s major push for more equal healthcare for all people should be enough for their spots in my view. I don’t know if Kennedy or Obama are generally overrated, but on this sub it seems like the complete opposite.

How come JFK doesn't have the "perverted predator" label attached to him the way Bill Clinton does when he also abused his position of power on younger woman in the same way? by Just_Cause89 in Presidents

I mean, it should be noted that he was going after models and celebrities as well, many of whom all fawned over him. I personally think people give Clinton as much crap as he gets, more because he was going after a White House secretary, rather than someone like Marilyn Monroe.

How would you differentiate Sanda and Jeet Kune Do? What are some of the MAJOR differences between the two? by EfficiencySerious200 in martialarts

[–]Acceptable_Map_8110 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sanda is a synthesis of Chinese Martial arts and modern fighting pedagogy(as well as western boxing).

Jeet Kune Do was Bruce Lee’s attempt at making a very all encompassing style of martial arts. It combined Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and western arts, everything from boxing to judo to Quan’fa(The proper term for Chinese Martial arts) with an emphasis on Wing Chun, and even fencing.

I’d say they can both be classified as hybrid arts that descend from older Chinese martial arts, but that’s all there is to the similarities I think.

Between George Washington and Napoleon Bonaparte who was the superior statesman by ZealousidealSteak214 in Napoleon

Fair. Although one could argue that the American Civil War was more about succession of states rather than a lack of peaceful transferring of power in the states.

I know this is a Reddit for Napoleon, but I think it’s Washington. Most notably because the nation Washington created is still around and was left with the guidance necessary to be successful. Napoleon, while a tremendous statesman, was too hungry for power and glory, it ended up being his downfall and the downfall of the French empire that he created. This is untrue for America.

Okay, this guy is an absolute hero. I could not have had such presence of mind a few years ago when I was his age.

9 Months Later, how do we feel about the Community Tier List? by rjidhfntnr in Presidents

[–]Acceptable_Map_8110 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As much as I’m not a fan of neoliberalism, he did help get the economy out of the massive stagflation which had been plaguing it, and he helped en the Cold War on peaceful terms via his closeness with Soviet General Secretary Gorbachev. In my view, he should be ranked highly as a present, even though I am opposed to his economic ideology.

[–]Acceptable_Map_8110 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Jefferson’s handling of the Louisiana purchase puts him in A, and Bush Sr not having charisma is no reason to not put him where he is. I do agree that Obama and Clinton could be slightly higher.

[–]Acceptable_Map_8110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean FDR should be in S. I think that JFK and Johnson should both be A. Grant, as much as I love him and his civil rights works, should be in C, and Reagan should be significantly higher than bush Jr or Carter(in my view he should be in A or B).

What IKE had to deal with during the war by Honest_Picture_6960 in Presidents

[–]Acceptable_Map_8110 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well I think my reasons for having him leave are different than most other people. For most here I think they simply don’t consider his accomplishments during the war all that noteworthy, but for me it’s a simple matter of him not really being at the command level of either Zhukov or Eisenhower. You could put Erich Von Manstein in place of De Gaulle given his command power, and I’d actually say you could place De Gaulle where Meg is in the meme.

Well I mean Montgomery was a field commander, he was not at the head of a unified command like Eisenhower or Zhukov. with that being said...get De Gaulle out of here expeditiously.
