venerable age of 90, seen it all and has always been nothing but a good man, this is a sad indeed, even though we all saw it coming.
rip old man and thanks for all you did for boxing.
Boxing has just lost a massive piece of what class & character it had left.
Be at peace Mr. Dundee
Sad news as he was a boxing relic and historian of sorts. Had some great stories.
He was as likeable and endearing as any boxing trainer.
Very sad, RIP Mr. Dundee
RIP Angelo Dundee
R.I.P. Mr Angelo Dundee :cool:

What a real downer. Sorry to here it. RIP.

RIP Angelo Dundee. His fascinating biography "My view from the corner" revealed him as being the same person away from the camera as he was on. One of boxing's nice guys he was a unique figure, the white guy Ali trusted in an almost exclusively black entourage, his association with brother Chris's 5th st gym on Miami beach, his work with Ali, Sugar ray Leonard and even a stint with George Foreman cements his name as one of Boxings true greats. His genius lay in simply letting his fighters be themselves. Gone but never forgotten.
Amazing Life, Amazing Man... R.I.P
Just caught this news, Very sad indeed. Great man, and fantastic servant of the sport.
R I P Dundee ;)
Very sad news:'( glad i got to meet you.R.I.P. Angelo, lovely man and a true gent, you will be missed.

'The greats are leaving us' :(
RIP Angie
Damn, was just reading this article the other day - Gotta love it: Dundee, 90, calls Ali, 70, "the kid" - New York Boxing Blog - ESPN New York
It's nice that him and Ali always remained close. I thought the jibe about his sex life was hilarious ;D Continued training fighters 'til the end. RIP to a legend and a great man
Nice tribute bit:

And here's me doing usual browsing of saddoboxing then I stumble along this post. Sad loss. First Henry Cooper, then Smoking Joe, then Angelo Alongside Foreman and Norton as the men who defined Ali's career. Sad Loss.Quote:

Very sad news. RIP.
I just read this on fightnews and it hit me like a cold bucket of water... :-\
May he rest in peace.
ATG and left a print not only in the ring but out of it as well.
Also RIP to referee Wayne Kelly.
RIP Angelo "it doesn't cost anything to be nice" Dundee.
Was lucky enough to meet him and get a pic. He was such a gent.
Rip.
R.I.P Angelo probably the best trainer/motivator in boxing history. Not to mention a heck of a great guy.
You may have left us but you will never be forgotten
