Yup along with his commenrative pic of him & steward Which is the biggest indication to me that he may be alive, or purely that Wlad doesn't know wtf is going on as he's in austria and would be hearing news from other sources just like us
R.I.P One of the most important figures in boxing. I am sure gonna miss his commentary. Terrible news.
ESPN has pulled all the tweets. Wlad pulled his post down. The Detroit times story has been taken down. Kevin Iole's story has been removed. The only story still up to report Steward's death is Fightnews.com. There are several stories out there that quote Manny's sister saying he is alive and fighting. I'm gonna call this false until ESPN properly reports it. Hang in there Manny!
Dan Rafael ‏@danrafaelespn Everyone needs to step back about Emanuel Steward. Yes, he's gravely ill. When he passes, it's up to his family & nobody else to say so.

I don't know what's going on anymore. If he's still with us, I hope he pulls through. It's sad that it's being dragged out like this, in total confusion. In a way, it's the fault of anyone who jumped the gun and posted about it on twitter etc, and in another way it's the fault of the family for keeping everyone in the dark about absolutely everything the whole way along. However, that's entirely their right if they so choose.
This is crazy. I respect and have compassion for his family, but if he's died... then just say so. If he's on life support.. Just say so. If the family wants privacy then just update people what is going on. Most people ask, or post things like "Pray for my father" if he was on life support, or struggling. It's not like people are going to hound you if he passed, or are breaking the hospital door down to take pics of him on life support. It'd be different if none of the news broke already, but obviously it did, and his family is just hounded more cuz nobody knows what is going on!
Amir Khan has just tweeted, this seems to clear everything up: Amir Khan ‏@AmirKingKhan Omg love daim bar. Could kill 1 right now RT @Javedchoksi: Why does that last bite always taste the nicest!
I don't get what the hell is going on. One member of the family should just inform the media to stop the confusion and say he dead but now we need to grieve, please respect our privacy. How on earth did we get confirmed sources saying he's dead is beyond belief.
