    Heavyweight legend Schmeling dies

    Former world heavyweight boxing champion Max Schmeling has died at the age of 99, German sport news agency SID reported on Friday.
    The German won the world championship over Jack Sharkey in 1930.

    And his stunning knockout of Joe Louis in 1936 solidified his position as one of the greatest fighters of his era.

    Schmeling was born on 28 September, 1905 in Klein Luckow, near Prenzlau, in what is now the Brandenburg state around Berlin.

          That's a shame, but at least he lived a great full life with lots of great moments in it.

                indeed he was a great fighter
                and his loss is a shame, but
                come on guys he live until he was almost 100 years
                old, tell me how many pro boxers do that?
                dont you consider him very lucky to have lived this long?

                Rest In Peace

                    To bad.

                    He had a long life and a great career.

                    I guess he goes to heaven.
