Classic African-American Boxers Highlight

[sergelapelle]

I'm making an Ali highlight video over a song Miles Davis wrote dedicated to him - as an intro for the vid I want to put in some footage of some pictures and footage of some classic KOs by Ali's predecessors. Obviously I've already got other heavyweight champs in there - Louis, Charles, Walcott, Johnson etc- and well known guys like Armsrong and Robinson, but I was wondering if you guys had any favourite boxers from the lower weights pre 1960 with videos on youtube that show top fighters at the top of their game that would be suitable.
Thanks in advance for your expertise

I doubt that you will use a clip of THIS:



Doesn't fit the agenda, huh?

No it'll be in there the idea is a montage of the whole Ali story his first loss to Frazier is a huge part of that

How about it buzz?

Are your "Forum Rules" a farce?

Or do you enforce them?

I respectfully hope you aren't referring to me. The original poster asked for info on specific pre 60 fighters and Granberry gave him a 1971 photo of Joe Frazier knocking down Muhammad Ali. I called him on it.

That's all.

I come here to talk about boxing, not to see people mistreated.
