The boxing world has had a tough run of late, with so many bold-faced and beloved names leaving the realm. Emanuel Steward, the Hall of Fame trainer, died on Oct. 25 and leaves a void that won't be filled, because his personality was a rare one. He built up and encouraged, a rarity in a zero-sum world. Angelo Dundee was another one like that; the trainer of Muhammad Ali and Sugar Ray Leonard died on Feb. 1, at age 90. People wishing to hold on to some of his legacy can participate in an auction which features items from The Angelo Dundee Estate Collection, including the gloves Ali wore for his March 8, 1971 fight against Joe Frazier, which unfolded at Madison Square Garden.
