Bert Sugar passes away.

Quick little story i have on bert... He goes to the boxing hall of fame every year and he would always be in grazianos eating afterwards. Anyways, we were driving on the main road next to the boxing hall of fame in canastota and bert was crossing the street he was wearing these ugly plaid pants...So i rolled down my window and screamed NICE PANTS BERT!!! he turned around gave the thumbs up. rip bert

RIP, one of the sport's great entertainers and writers. RIP Bert, another guy who would have wished to see the super fight but sadly people die waiting for it.

R.I.P Bert ...........

A quick sig I made to pay tribute to the historian. http://www.freeimagehosting.net/newuploads/g8r9v.jpg thanks. I'll be rocking this.

wow. I'm shocked. i knew he was old and all, but ****, he was so lively. rest in peace mr.sugar. boxing's going to miss a personality like you.

I heard he was having difficulties with his health, although based on the recent interview before last Saturday's fights he had seemingly overcome them. The man's passion for the sport was undeniable, as are his contributions towards making boxing a better experience for the viewers with his entertaining and distinctive personality, never hesitating to speak his mind and share his opinions, always contributing to the sport in every possible way he could. I don't think anyone can replace Bert Sugar. He was more than a boxing historian, he was someone instantly recognizable to even the most casual of boxing fans. I fear we have no one to fill the spot he has left behind as a well-known historian, not to mention a part of that history as one of its most long-standing contributors. I did not always agree with the man but I respected his unquestionable love towards the sport of boxing. May he rest in peace. Thats true, he's an old school icon. He basically has no equivalent today.

damn didnt know he had cancer, i thought he was one of those guys that could smoke everyday unscathed, a shame that boxing has sucked so much that Bert couldnt see another great rivalry or great heavyweight...RIP

Not a massive fan but he was part of the boxing establishment, worked hard for the sport and kept a lot of its history alive for the current generation. R.I.P.

Great guy that knew his stuff, didnt agree with his rank of fighters but good man. RIP.

Don't always agree with the man but have tremendous respect for him as one of boxing's figures. May he rest in peace.
