R.I.P. Angelo Dundee

[jamiebhoy]

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.

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