    He was certainly something at his best. The most electrifying fighter of the last 50 years.

    This is really well done!!! :)

    Since a member is suggesting it, please do not feel immodest about making a thread where you show off your channel.
    Perhaps involving asking for feedback & opinions about the styles, strengths, weaknesses that folks observe.

    The cuts to real life events & milestones were a nice touch.
    One suggestion if I may: the music is not bad but like so many other videos (often inferior to yours) too repetitive.
    You went to a good deal of trouble, why not make sure the song/music changes pattern often so it does not just seem pasted on with no connection to the action?

    If I may, I would add Usyk as being an ideal modern rep. of the aforementioned, simultaneously upheld attributes.

    Even when the going got tough against Verhoeven, Usyk did not compromise his rep. as a clean fighter in any way.

    Surrounding context saw Olek face and overcome adversity, relying on his current skills and ever present heart/determination alone.

    On the other hand, we saw what Fury resorted to when Ngannou surprised him with a far tougher challenge than Tyson expected.

    I think the actual owner of the video and channel would be very very cross with me if i did that.

    I’ve seen your videos which are not boxing related.

    As to the music you’ve always used, “Bow Chicka Bow Bow” is the iconic standard and more than acceptable.

    Nothing broken, nothing to fix

    Keep “up” the good work! :lol:

    Oh sorry, I thought this was YOUR creation!
    So although the sonic repetition seems banal compared to the fast cuts & creative editing, of course you cannot edit that.

    Great music, but a bit short at 1-2 minutes!
