Just wanted to say a RIP again for the legend that was Emanuel Steward as today marks the first anniversary of his death.
Emanuel Steward - A year today

It seems like just yesterday!
I miss his one liners, "...and he didn't do anything wrong, this kind of stuff just happens in boxing..." "OH MY GAWWDD!!"
RIP Emanuel!Comment

For a guy that accomplished as much as he did in his life, he appeared to be really down to earth. I always got the impression from listening to him speak on tv that if one were to find oneself seated next to him on a train or something, even though he was a legit bigshot and oneself just Joe Schmoe the boxing fan, you could have a really fun conversation over a beer or two. And him not just lecturing as bigshots tend to do, but with him actually interested in how you freaked out during Ward vs Gatti or whatever.
Just seemed like a really good dude.
R.I.P. Manny. We miss you.Comment
