    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.

    The man Emmanuel Steward did more for the wide eyed kids and aspiring young men yearning to be a Champion in this sport than any redundant belt ever could have! Your real wins as a professional fighter started in the sweltering Kronk gym well before you even stepped between the ropes for the first time with him in your ear.

    He was a trainer and a commentator, but more so he was boxing! And he was ours and helped make us fans. I'll miss him in this sport, greatly. Be at peace Manny and thank you!

    Now that Manny's death has been confirmed, just wanted to say, that this seemed sudden and unexpected. It's sad day for boxing, Steward was respected by fans all over the world, and he'll be remembered for a long time after his passing.

    RIP Emmanuel Steward

    He seemed like a classy, talented, loyal, generous and enlightening coach. His name is synonymous not only with the legendary Kronk Gym, but also the city of Detroit, and the Motor City Cobra, Thomas Hearns. One can not think of him without also recalling the great impact that all the men he trained continue to have on the boxing world that we all love. The list is awe inspiring, those men who he trained or in some way guided in a long and illustrious career include

    Wilfred Benitez

    Julio Cesar Chavez

    Kermit Cintron

    Miguel Cotto

    Oscar De La Hoya

    Naseem Hamed

    Evander Holyfield

    Wladimir Klitschko

    Lennox Lewis

    Michael Moorer

    Oliver Mcall

    Mile Mcallum

    Gerald McClellan

    Jermaine Taylor

    James Toney

    Yuriorkis Gamboa

    His own words pay great tribute to the man who when asked what quality he most admired in other people replied

    “ I think people who have values and stand up for what they believe. And loyalty. That's one of the most amazing qualities I love. And that's why I say the people I admire most in my life - loyal people - as opposed to wishy washy, depending on who is the guy that can do the best for me, or get the best favors. And the people who been with you when you weren't on your feet, you should remember to stay loyal to them.”

    R.I.P Emmanuel Steward.

    Inspiration and Mentor and a constant reminder of all that is good about boxing.

    Don't forget Dennis Andries. Steward took him on - and back to a world title - after being in the opposite corner as Hearns knocked him down ten million times.

    I wanted to share some of the tweets and messages from the boxing world in response to Manny's passing....

    Lennox Lewis
    "I’m completely devastated by the passing of my long time friend, mentor and trainer Emanuel “Manny” Steward. Manny has helped me get through some of the biggest fights in my career and I only regret that I couldn’t return the favour and see him through his biggest fight.

    We’ve maintained a close relationship and the last time we spoke he seemed his usual upbeat self so it was very disturbing to hear about his illness and rapid decline. It is with a heavy heart that realization of what I hoped were just rumors are now in fact true. Manny always told me I was the best, but the truth is, HE was the best and I’m grateful, privileged and honoured to be counted among his many historic successes.

    This has been a very tragic year for the boxing world, but today we’ve truly lost one of it’s crown jewels. Manny was giving, selfless, compassionate and stern. He always gave back to the community and never forgot where he came from. He was an institution unto himself and I’m proud to have had him in my corner for so many years.

    I’m extremely grateful for the time that I was given with him and he will be severely missed by all who knew and loved him. I’ll miss his smile, his frank no holds barred truthfulness and our discussions on boxing and life. My prayers and condolences"

    Wladimir Klitschko
    "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."

    Miguel A. Cotto‏@RealMiguelCotto
    Emanuel thank you for giving it all for our sport and for giving me your great advice. We enjoyed those days! You will always be in my mind

    Freddie Roach‏@FreddieRoach
    emanuel steward passing today is biggest loss to boxing in long time. he'll be greatly missed. my thoughts prayers are w his family

    'Big' George Foreman
    George Foreman‏@GeorgeForeman

    "Emanuel Steward will long be remembered. Thanks HBO, you never left Manny."

    &

    "Manny Stuart carried winning in his pockets; where ever he went a win followed."


    More will follow I am sure

    I use to love reading Emanuel Steward interviews because they went into so much detail about boxers and stories. Although I sometimes disagreed with his opinions you could see his enthusiasm and knowledge for the sport.

    His history and experience was rich and very enlightening. He built the Kronk gym and legacy and fighters wanted to be a part of that by just being in the gym, talking to Manny, or even fighting a Kronk fighter.

    Still cannot believe he has gone, I thought he would be around for a long time to come. Very sad news which I find it hard to take in.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
