Boxing fans, we've lost one of the greats.

I just read on ESPN that Emanuel Steward has died. I've watched him as a trainer and a commentator for a long time. He was a huge contributor to the sweet science. Only 68 years young. R.I.P., sir.

Holy cow. He was on Hbo boxing a couple of weeks ago commentating.

Grew up with him on the Fights with my Dad and me watching. Sad day for sports.

He was a boxing all time great. I was saddened and surprised to see him pass at age 68. He appeared so young and fit when he was on TV.

Any word on cause ?

Rest in peace Emanuel.

The ESPN piece just mentioned a "short illness".
