    You are by far the best tribute videos maker I've seen and I'm not sure if it's only about boxing vids.

    Please, post the playlist.

    Thanks.

    I can't see the video on youtube, some guy posted a link to megaupload and I downloaded it, simply.. The vid is not available due to music I think.

    Copy the tracks name from the description if possible, please..

    Damn, thanks everyone for the compliments and feedback. I really wish I could respond to every post. Thanks for your comment Trixie. Its always awesome to hear that a video of mine inspired some sort of emotion to a viewer.


    cuchulain, I wonder whose list ended being the closest to the actual video. Would be really interesting to see. Thanks for the comment man

    And thanks again everyone else.



    Oh and for the record. I was watching the whole Tunney Carpentier fight while making this video. And Tunney is special. An A+ outfighter who fought using awkward angles I never seen heavyweight use since Ali. And he could punch. Carpentier is mad underrated (for his time). He could look like hes about to fall and he will throw three haymakers at you in a row. He tried all the tricks against Tunney, and Tunney always knew when to take a step back. He put on such a beautiful performance in that fight. It's a wonderful fight I recommend it.

    Minor correction needed, Mongoose ?

    Ali had losses to Frazier and Holmes.

    Yeah... But nobody holds the loss against holmes against Ali of course... Frazier was a legit loss though

    I agree that the loss is meaningless.

    However, where do you draw the line ?

    Mongoose includes Louis' loss to Marciano when Joe was past best.



    Minor point, I realize.

    Neither of those losses mean anything. but Louis was still competitive. Holmes carried Ali and didn't swarm all over him like Rocky did. i think Louis had more left then Ali did against holmes.

    These two points contradict each other, somewhat.




    Louis DID have considerably more left than Ali.


    However, my original point to Mongoose was that Ali had two losses, not one.

    I agreed that it wasn't a very meaningful loss. However, in the interests of accuracy, Ali's record against the cited competition was 7-2.

    Perhaps the best solution would be a 7-2 *

    And the Asterisk could carry the footnote.
