ESPN reported it was cardiac arrest. Regardless, it's a sad day in boxing whenever anyone passes. RIP!

RIP Mr. Sugar, you will be missed.
For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.

Very sad indeed. For some reason, Sugar had that iconic face and demeanor that just said "boxing" to me. He'll never be truly replaced. R.I.P., and my thoughts and prayers to his family. Huge loss for boxing.

Like or hate him, Bernie was a colorful character and he sure did have a vibrant passion for the sport. He sure made a name of himself by his colorful personnality and sure will be missed by the whole scene, even those to which he hasn't always made nice comments.

Re: Bert Sugar Passes Away At 74
Can't say I agreed with him or liked his opinions often, but he was a relic and fixture of boxing.
He will be missed.
He was a character and a historian.

I liked Bert Sugar, he was one of the greatest characters in boxing and I loved his stories even if they may have been slightly exaggerated. RIP great man.
