Title: Re: Manny Steward Post by: Tal on October 26, 2012, 12:52:17 AM No, he is dead.
Sky been reporting it this evening. Adam Booth gave a touching set of comments on his career. He actually came across well, which says a lot about Manny, really. Title: Re: Manny Steward Post by: Longy on October 26, 2012, 02:47:11 AM Remember him well for being Lennox Lewis trainer, seemed like a good guy to me ( could be wrong ofc).
Rip manny. Title: Re: Manny Steward Post by: Bazzaboy on October 26, 2012, 07:38:09 AM Remember him well for being Lennox Lewis trainer, seemed like a good guy to me ( could be wrong ofc). Rip manny. I had the pleasure of meeting him once. I learned more about boxing from chatting to him for 40mins than I have in 20years of watching it.
