    Terribly sad day for boxing,

    but to go off topic for just a second. Is that article saying that Jonathon Banks is training Wlad now?

    True but I assumed Wlad wouldn't confirm it if it wasn't true, but now he's removed the post and the pic of him and Manny :-/

    I was just given a call by Jim Lampley, who tells me that Emanuel Steward has passed away."He's gone," were his words. RIP


    Eric Raskin @EricRaskin

    CBS News Radio just called, told me Emanuel Steward's foundation confirmed his passing. Not just a rumor, sadly. RIP to one of the greats.

    RIP.

    I had no idea the guy was only 68. He looked much older.

    Maybe respect for the family? The sister maybe wants to confirm it?

    Probably letting the family make a statement before they do.
