Not your conventional boxing article, but all the better for it. VK continues to rise in my estimation; such as classy guy:

Yes, I read it this morning. A great article, you feel it addresses you personally.

All things considered, with the way he lost, it's possibly the best thing that could happen for his legacy. For all he's been insulted, for all he's been called boring, people will now remember the guy for going out on his sheild at 41.

Very nice bit of writing

My respect for Wlad went through the roof following that fight

If he'd gotten Joshua out of there in the 6th, his stock would have risen really highly. Because he'd come through a crisis at that stage. I remember the bookies having him around 1/6 at that point. Joshua was looking done.

Joshua was as big as 33/1 in play to win that fight.

Thanks for sharing really great article!

Great article. Words to live by. I have shared it with my entire network (especially my kids).

Wlad solidified his greatness in that loss that night.

Great article that.
