    Rip Bert

    He was such an interesting character in this sport and had a plethora of boxing knowledge that would overlap the boxing knowledge in the general a million times.

    He will be missed.

    Bert was a pimp-Gangsta and having opinions shouldn't be a crime. He was a good man if anything and he knew boxing.

    I seriously thought Bert was about 95 years old. Sugar loved talking about Jack Dempsey, Joe Louis, Sugar Ray Robinson.

    He picked Primo Carnera to beat Klitschko

    Loved his image. You could picture him at ringside, watching some of the classics.
