That's so sad, i'd really hoped the dude might get a few more years of life.

R.I.P. Nick Charles, you will be mourned and remembered.

I read the news this morning.

Very sad.

I prayed for him every night since I heard he had cancer.

He will be missed. It was always apparent just how much he loved the sport of boxing.

God rest his soul.

Really sad...

I geuinely got misty eyed as I read the news.

May he RIP.

Sad news indeed, great commentator, big loss to Showtime and the sport.

"congratulations Nick on a well lived life."

What a nice thing to have written. He sounded like a great bloke, good on him.

May God bless the Charles family.

As some of you might already know, HBO paid tribute to Nick last night before the Alexander/Lucas Matt fight, good on them, I thought I heard more then few people choking up, I don't mind admitting that I did.

Hated hearing this and more so knowing it was coming. How one keeps smiling and trooping on is pure dignity and grace.

Charles always seemed to approach fighters as a fan, not some talking head trying to get a sound bite. Be at peace Nick.

Very upsetting news. I thought his cancer went into remission and then bam I got the news. My sympathies to the Charles family.

Found out who he was from another post a couple of weeks ago when Mike Tyson visited him. Really sounded like a great guy and extremely sad news. RIP.
