    Thank you.
    I tried to capture Sonny's career instead of mixing a bunch of clips together, which had already been done. Even his downfall. The music was supposed to set the mood.

    Yeah and it worked. Carreer highlights are much better when they show the carreer path and build up of fights etc!

    Thanks again man.
    Here's my other Liston highlight, this one isn't really his career or anything though, just a bunch of clips.

    I just think it's inappropriate, if somebody had ever mentioned hip hop to Liston during his lifetime he'd wonder why they were talking about rabbits.
    Also, there's this thing were hip hop is wrongly equated with being tough so it gets joined onto boxing far too ofter (see rocking marciano walking to the ring in the fight night video games-utterly stupid).

    So I just don't see how if fits, that's all.

    so I guess you didn't watch the whole video, because the hip hop was only for the beginning of his career, and I used two different songs.
    the hip hop thing was just for his dominance. I thought it was fine. at least I use the instrumental version instead of the version with words, which wouldve been rap.
    at least I synced it with the music? doesn't that count for something?

    To make a great highlight you need to use good music. Some Motown Music, like "Nowhere to run" by the supreams or James Brown........would of been nice in this video.

    Something of that era, some real soul music.

    Ive switched off your highlight already, and its only been about 20 seconds. Simply because the music is ****.

    But fair play man........i want to start making these type of video's.

    the music isn't even that bad. you should see this Joe Louis highlight with rap >_>
    seriously just watch. the hip hop part isn't that bad.
    the rest of the video is fine.

    I did watch it all and I thought it was well done, really well edited. tbh as soon as I heard the hip hop I thought begad and just muted it.
    I'm not being unpleasant for the sake of it just take it as constructive criticism. I just don't think that kind of music fits that's all. If you made a best clips of rocky vid with anything but the rocky music on it itwouldn't seem roght would it? Kind've the same thing. That's just how I see it and I'm just giving you my opinion.

    I really think the music is just if you like hip hop or not.
    the music doesn't have to match the era.
    as Long as it's synced and it's not rap, i dont think it should matter.
    more of a personal opinion IMO.

    I was looking forward to this and it turned out to be a very nice tribute to Liston's gripping career. :good
