Is he gone or no? I've read so many conflicting reports on this that its starting to feel like James Brown 2.0...Ironically I was just talking on here about when Stewart would retire..last footage I saw of him training the klitsch brothers he looked like had slowed down a ton and just didn't seem as lively..either way the man was a living legend..one of those ppl in boxing that just doesn't get the level of credit he deserves...

Sad day a real legend dies.

How pathetic that a legend dies while scum like Bob Arum and Don King are still around raping and pillaging Boxing for the 4th decade in a row?
