At first I thought this was terry fox, would have been a strong r/agedlikemilk contestant haha

Dude pretty much suffered until the end

A legend. Boxing gave him glory but took everything in the end.

Looked all twisted up near the end there, being a champion fucking stinks but Atleast you get quoted a bunch.

Most don't become the champ and just suffer.

A journalist asked him how many sit-ups he could do:

"I don't know. I only start counting when they start hurting..."

And some of those who become champs become crippled from the toll it takes.

That’s two sentences.

Spotted the Canadian…

Yeah, I think I'll pass on this one.

Yea but he also inspired millions. A true activist. Took one for the team as it were.

Naaawwh...

Periods don't count. That's like... so many characters taken up by tweets! How else am I going to impersonate Elon Musk on Twitter??

But isn't that better still? Than not even trying to become a champ or whatever, I mean.

Not really. I am a firm believer in doing your best, but caring for yourself.

Yeah, I guess you're right, but anyway, there's nothing wrong with doing more than your best, to overexert yourself, if that's what you want to do.
