    surprised didn't see other fighters like dela hoya, chavez, cotto, taylor, dawson and so many others. even if it was for a brief time that he was their trainer. we have a saying in chinese, if someone is your teacher for a day, they are your teacher for life.

    perhaps. i don't know the behind the scene details. holyfield didn't spend that long with steward, and with his financial problems he probably had to borrow money for a plane ticket and fly coach to detroit. wonder if oliver mccall went?

    Damn, you made good catch on that one! I remember people thought he would be champ long time, didn't he come down with some sort of kidney trouble?

    Which goes to show you the type of man Evander "Real Deal" Holyfield is!

    Emmanuel Steward only trained Holyfield for his rematch with Riddick Bowe.
    They parted ways right after because they could'nt come to a financial agreement as to what % Steward would get.

    Not to knock Steward, but he held a grudge against Holyfield for that and it showed in his interviews when discussing Holyfield.

    Despite that, Holyfield is at his funeral, no grudges.
    Thats a real man for you!!!!

    Damn, even Dwyer at Gambler's Advisory was there. Didn't know he was a former world champ, either :think.

    Anybody know if any of the broadcast team from HBO was at Stewards funeral?
    I dont see pictures of Lampley, Merchant, etc.......

    Would have been nice to see at least one of them representing.

    It would be complete nonsense for those guys not to have shown up at the funeral

    That can't be. I don't think it's him. Why would he wear that red band saying 'World Champion'? My guess it's someone who looks like him from this angle.
