      I only mentioned pregnancies. Which in most cases do not require any planning at all. It is a natural occurrence. All creatures and beasts reproduce. The planning is done in order to prevent a pregnancy or kill the product/child from the pregnancy. Most of what you call planned parenthood is nothing more than a combination of birth control pills and abortion clinics.

    Fun fact: The main antagonist- Ricardo Martinez from the boxing manga "Hajime No Ippo" is based on Ricardo Lopez. The author George Morikawa really studied and did a perfect job depicting and implementing certain parts of Ricardo's style through his character. Ricardo Lopez is truly incredible as you study his techniques more and you can see Morikawa's appreciation of his boxing shine throughout his art.

      That dude didn't really need a promotional machine. He was a Don King fighter back in the day when Don was putting together MONSTER PPV cards with 3 or 4 championship fights on the same card. He was ALWAYS fighting on the biggest Tito Trinidad, Julio Caesar Chavez, Mike Tyson PPV events. I watched him all throughout the 90s on all the biggest cards. He was also NOT underrated back then. If you were a boxing fan then you at LEAST knew something of Finito's greatness. It was a shock to see him win a belt in another weight class and almost immediately retire and walk away happy with no regrets. He's also a hell of a motivational speaker, a VERY educated man.

    I remember the first time I saw him fight and was amazed at how fast hand speed was and elusive he was. I remember just seeing opponents head snap back and see lopez jab returning. I then looked at past fights and was in awe and couldn't understand why there wasn't more media about how good this guy actually was. I know not being in one of the heavier weight classes contributed to his lack of notoriety but greatness shines through whether highlighted or not. I think D. Johnson aka Mighty mouse is very similar in that in his division no one really even challenged them and many say he is in conversation of GOAT. I think Lopez should be in conversation, doesn't mean he is GOAT, but the techinical side, physical speed, and true dedication and professional attitude that he showed over a lengthy amount of time truly showed he was one the greatest fighters ever.

    My all-time favorite non-heavyweight. He really was as close to being a "perfect fighter" as you could possibly get. He never cherry picked old and worn out opponents like other guys did. His divisions were loaded and he took on ALL comers and NO ONE could manage to beat him. Alarez came close, he was a good fighter but very dirty and that to me is a dishonor to the sport. Ricardo has had a HUGE impact on Mexican boxing. Just look at Juan Manuel Marquez - he has almost the same exact style and holds his hands up high the same way and has possibly just as great an uppercut to go along with that fencing type of boxing style. That's pure Finito right there. Great video, SALUTE!

    The quiet assassin. Brilliant boxer. Under rated because of his size. One of the giants in boxing history. "Finito" the finest.

    Japan literally made a whole cartoon based around this man. That’s how great he was. The man defeated so many GREAT Japanese fighters they honored him with an entire boxing anime cartoon.

      A minority of people in Mexico would say such a thing. Lopez won't be the best pound for pound for any true Mexican fan, but he's at the top for everyone.
