my younger son has visited me, in part to work out in the gym. (He is the hardest-hitting, most powerful young heavyweight that I've seen in 50+ years.)

We were working on his movement in the ring. He said that he recently read an article on Ali's footwork, and how it took an average fighter about 8 years to learn to imitate it; he asked how I had become so good at it? I attempted to demonstrate a couple of the basic steps, and realized that some other body parts had begun "bouncing" now that I'm old and weigh a few more pounds.

Not a pretty sight!
