Ali in the jungle
I made a video compilation on Muhammad Ali based on The Hours song called "Ali in the Jungle". The title of the video is called "Ali in the Jungle" and the link to it is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4T--2A_cjQ . I would love to know what you think about the compilation and if you have any suggestions as to how I can improve the video.

Re: Ali in the jungle
Wonderful compilation, dollarandadream. Migwetch. Your work and time are much appreciated from this Boxing fan here.
Ali looked fantastic there, at the ages of 29 to 32 years old when he reclaimed the Heavyweight Championship of the World.
He still was sharp and had his reflexes, plus a wealth of experience by then too.
He didn't have the stamina to bounce around dancing for 15 full rds the way he did at 22, 23, 24 years old anymore, but then he lacked the experience at that younger age too.
This period at 29 to 32 is when he still had the physical gifts intact, but with the psychological aspects and experience too.

This is quality. Its good to see a time when every decent boxer didnt have to fight at big venues and have it on HBO, rather like Ali in some of these fights doing it simply for the sport.

Yeah, you used to be able to watch Championship fights on regular network tv every month.
Some Champs even engaged in non-Title fights like a prime Julio Cesar Chavez.
As a Champ, Julio would fight every month. Between fighting top serious challengers every couple of months or so, he'd fight 2nd or 3rd tier fighters in non-title stay-busy fights, entertaining the fans and making a little cash...
