WTF! Manny Steward passes away??!?!?

Legendary trainer was best known for his work with Thomas "Hit Man" Hearns but also trained Holyfield, De la Hoya, Lennox Lewis and others. Wow, he was only 68....

68 is pretty up there for a man, he had a good life.

"Pretty up there" for you maybe but for a man who was a boxing commentator and still training fighters, it's a shock neverless. To me, 78-88 is "pretty up there for a man" but at 68, that's just a few years into retirement age for today's man.

At 61, I don't consider myself as "pretty up there",,, not any more anyways since I quit the Crown Royal & smoke 11 years ago. Now those where the days when I was "pretty up there".  :lol: :wine: :smoke:

Cheers,

Diverticulitis, and any intestinal infection, is no joke.  These things can be very hard to treat and very deadly.  My father passed away this year as a result of an intestinal bug.  Sad to see him go, his fighters were always well trained and his TV commentary biting and to the point.
