Very sad news. The sport we love had suffered a great loss. R.I.P.

Huge, huge loss. It's almost beyond words how sad it is to have this man pass away. He was a familiar face on TV for a lot of boxing events... and you couldn't ask for a nicer person. Not only that... he was boxing royalty. He was a trainer without equal, a track record to be envied. Such a loss at such a relatively young age. Oh my goodness.

Rest in peace, Emmanuel. My thoughts and prayers to you and your family.

From Wladimir Klitschko today on the Klitschkos' facebook page:

Boxing has suffered a tremendous loss with the passing of Emanuel Steward.

Vitali and I, along with the entire Team Klitschko, send our deepest and most heartfelt condolences to Emanuel's family and friends.

It is not often that a person in any line of work gets a chance to work with a legend, well I was privileged enough to work with one for almost a decade.

I will miss our time together. The long talks about boxing, the world, and life itself. Most of all I will miss our friendship.

My team and I will carry on with the goals we had set while Emanuel was with us because that is exactly what Emanuel would have wanted. I know he will be with us in spirit along the way and we will accomplish these goals in his honor.

Rest in peace Emanuel. You will be greatly missed.

Until we meet again my friend.

R.I.P Manny. One of the greatest.

Yeah didn't even know he was sick, as everyone else stated got to respect what he did for boxing, may he find peace and rest.

R.I.P legend

R.I.P Manny.

The sport of boxing will miss you!

I had to make a quick cameo at the forum when I found out about this.

I honestly don't remember whose facebook page I saw it from, but it was one of the forum members. I had no clue anything was wrong with Steward, just wondering where he had been in the last couple HBO telecasts. I don't know the guy personally but for some reason I was dragging along the rest of the day. It's a shame the sport of boxing has lost such a great trainer and I hope he's in the hands of God now and his family are given the strength to get through this time.

R.I.P. Emmanuel Steward

He was one of the finest trainers ever (without saying Ze finest), he was very human and had one of the most lovable personality, he will be missed for sure and no matter what, that we love him or not, he did play a major role in shaping boxing as we know it today.
