#TBT Videos Of Laila On "Dancing With The Stars"

There are days when you just yearn for the past, for the olden days when Laila Ali ruled the ballroom on "Dancing with the Stars." Don't even get me started on the fact that she placed third. I love that DWTS is democratic, but the voters got this wrong. Here are some fierce moments from the show that Laila proved she deserved that Mirror Ball Trophy more than any of the other contestants. 

Week 2 - Mambo

Laila and Maks posted a 27 on the second week! That's insane. Nobody's score was even close. 

Week 5 - Rumba

The quote "I'm used to being number 1" is pure perfection. Curtis watching Maks is pure perfection. That sexy wink is pure perfection. And finally, Len gave her a score of 10, which is obviously PURE PERFECTION. 

Week 6 - Cha-Cha-Cha

Now Bruno's giving her the 10! Carrie-Ann and Len must've not seen the dance, because this was Ten-tastic!

Week 7 - Samba

FINALLY! The judges see what I've seen all along. This woman delivered a perfect dance and earned a 30. Also, loving the Frank Sinatra musical selection. 

Week 9 - Cha-Cha-Cha

Yes she is a lady: a champion-worthy lady who just dominated that Cha-Cha-Cha.

Week 10 - Paso Doble 

After having a tough time with this dance back in Week 4, Laila Ali put on those tough-as-nails boxing gloves and came back fighting, wowing the judges and America in what may as well have been the dance of the season. 

Week 10 - Mambo (Finale Dance)

Excuse me while I go cry and pray for the day Laila returns to the ballroom.
