Iconic boxing writer. Pissed a lot of people off with his style, but I thought his take was as good as anyone's.

Kind of the end of an era with his passing, Angelo Dundee passing recently...

He is to be buried with a cigar in his mouth. Sweet guy.

At first I read "RIP Burnt Sugar" and thought you were giving up caramel.

A little into his own schtick but knowledgable and from all I read a good man. RIP

Yup, a lot of people didn't like how animated his speech patterns were, but I'm not sure there was another writer still working that had the knowledge across all eras that he did.

Kraj,
That made me chuckle.

Loved his stories, I also thought he was older than he really was RIP

I thought he was way older. Seems to have been around for ever. Appeared to belong to a bygone era, and yet was living in the present.
