Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Thursday, February 02, 2012

Angelo Dundee, the legendary boxing corner man who trained Muhammad Ali, Sugar Ray Leonard and 13 other world champions, died Wednesday at his home in Tampa, Fl. He was 90. Dundee stuck with Ali through all the controversies in his career, including his conversion to the Nation of Islam in 1964 and his conviction on draft evasion charges, and was on hand to celebrate the boxer's 70th birthday last month. "He let me be exactly who I wanted to be, and he was loyal. That is the reason I love Angelo," Ali wrote in the foreword to a book by Dundee.

Shame - he was just in Louisville a couple of weeks ago for Ali's birthday and seemed to be in pretty decent shape then for an old guy. Oh, well, he lived a long and interesting life.

RIP.

Angelo Dundee was a class act.

The Champ has to be reeling from this blow.

RIP.

Be Well.

"The Champ has to be reeling from this blow."

He attended Ali's 70th last month, and is now back with Helen. 90 years old, Ali and Leonard? I doubt anyone is reeling and thinking what ifs...

is his brother, Crocodile, still around?

**** ..."you're blowin it kid!"

RIP.

If he's lucky, maybe Ali will blow himself up and then share some virgins with him when he gets to heaven.

How interesting that both Angelo and Ali changed their names - one to hide from his family, the other to embrace one.

Such friendship, I'm glad he made it to the birthday party.
