    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.

    R.I.P Angelo probably the best trainer/motivator in boxing history. Not to mention a heck of a great guy.

    Great book and he seemed like a rare breed in that he was genuine. RIP.

    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 Continued training fighters 'til the end. RIP to a legend and a great man

    May he rest in peace.
    ATG and left a print not only in the ring but out of it as well.
