Gil Clancy

There was a period where boxing was a must watch for a long time and then the corporations and huge money came into the picture and whored this sport out as never before and it was then my relationship with that sport three decades ago ended.

There was one man who didn't go along with that and remained true to the sport and that was Gil Clancy. I always respected him and his opinions and want to acknowledge him and the fact he has passed away.

Gil Clancy, a Hall of Fame trainer and manager who worked with many top fighters including Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier and George Foreman, died on Thursday at age 88.
