A remarkable article. I have no real interest in boxing or photography, but this was fascinating and thought provoking.
That was one of the best articles I've read in a while. While I think the article could have had a better title, and it doesn't dispose any 'useful' information, it is incredibly well written, and interesting.

The only thing I can liken it to was if some fast talking braggart spouting poetry suddenly upset Mike Tyson in his absolute prime. No boxing experts gave Ali a chance at all of winning.
