I noticed no one created a topic about this and I felt compelled to do so. My GF and I are huge boxing fans and the passing of Mr. Steward broke our hearts. What a classy, unselfish mentor he was and my deepest sympathies go out to his family.
Thank you Emanuel, for all the great work you did, the world is a better place with you having been in it, RIP sir.

ESPN Article
Here is the ESPN article - (LINK)- Steward passed yesterday actually.
His legacy is fairly well summed up in this list, if you're a boxing fan -
"Mike McCallum, Jimmy Paul, Michael Moorer, Dennis Andries, Milton McCrory, Duane Thomas, Gerald McClellan, Evander Holyfield, Oliver McCall, John David Jackson, Julio Cesar Chavez Sr., Oscar De La Hoya, Naseem Hamed, Jermain Taylor, Chad Dawson, Miguel Cotto, and Cornelius "K9" Bundrage."
"Funny isn't it, how naughty dentists always make that one fatal mistake."

RIP
I know he was 68, but that was shocked to hear that. He was the best of the best, and I really enjoyed his commentary on HBO.

68 is not that old. It sure
68 is not that old. It sure as hell is not dying time old.
RIP

Michigan Resurgent? Michigan Resurgent!

Sad day for boxing as a
Sad day for boxing as a whole. One of the classiest guys in the sport and one of the best trainers bar none. RIP Mr. Steward

Burn.
RIP Emanuel.
He will be missed. HBO
He will be missed. HBO boxing comentary will not be the same. He brought a knowledge to the presentation of each match that was unparalleled. There really is no close second to him; Big George Forjman, Tony Atlas, Roy Jr. etc. they are all good but they just could never live up to what he brought to us the fans.
R.I.P. Emanuel

Sad day...
..for boxing and for Detroit. Rest in peace, Mister Steward.
but it was determined at the time that it was fake. Maybe he's actually passed away now, but I doubt it.
