Comments Thread For: Thomas Hearns Steps Up, Willing To Run The Kronk Gym

Well done Thomas, I don't understand why steward's sister had everything removed. I mean the gym is his legacy.

Probably because Manny felt that some of the guys were anxious to get their hands on some of the stuff. Im sure he probably got so many compliments about his stuff, and when he knew his time was coming to a close, he gave her a few words about it. Everyone knows how shiesty people act when you die.

typical family member thinking only of money i bet shes gunna pawn all that **** off selfish ***** , WHO THE HELL WOULD "STEAL" ALL THAT STUFF I KNOW DAMN WELL KNOW ONES WALKING IN MY GYM TRYING TO STEAL ANYTHING

You dont have rich history in your gym. He probably got glass cases with Hearns Gloves, Maybe even Floyd's gloves from the ams, probably all types of stuff on display, and his ring has been used by historic figures.

Steward's just 'out of town' at the moment, right?

that's not what i said. i will murder you.

Its only right..... I hope it all works out

Im not going to lie. I almost feel like this could be a bitter type of thing. You know how when your about to die, you wanna burn all of yourstuff to make sure no one else can have it. I kind of think that Manny felt that if he had to leave boxing, he wanted to make sure no one else could enjoy his toys. I can realistically see this. And I can see him feeling that way, not saying its bad because we all would do the same thing. LOL

It's an amazing thing that Hearns is stepping up to the plate, to tale care and carry on the Kronk Legacy! The fact is though, it will never be the same without Emanuel but I enjoy the idea of Hearns continuing the tradition. I would like to see Lewis, Wlad, Lee, and the others he had trained through th years to step up as well!

Greatest Comment. But they live out of the country. They are the ones best fit for the gig though.

she might have a good reason. When the original Kronk closed in 2006 or whatever, I thouht I heard on the local news that people were breaking in and stealing the copper piping. This is Detroit, my buddy one had someone drive a fork lift through the side of his Mustang and steal it down there

I can't help but laugh at this.

Was Manny married?
