One of the best.

RIP


(EDIT - apparently rumours of his death have been greatly exaggerated!)

Great news.  Sounds like he's still very ill, so hope he makes a full recovery.

See the wikipedia page has been changed back: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Emanuel_Steward&action=history

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.

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.
