Ali's 70th birthday. The genial trainer was his old friend and they had good times together. They had a great time seeing each other again. but Dundee dies in Tampa, Fla, in his apartments. the age of 90. because he died some boxing had died too. he got to be surround by his love ones. the visit with Ali in Louisville, Ky meant a lot to him. said jimmy. his son. One of his boys had said "it was the way he wanted to go" " he got to do everything he felt like."
Jimmy's dad had been in the hospital last week for a blood clot. and was briefly rehabilitated before he returned to his apartment. the other day he was having breathing problems. lucky jimmy's wife was with him. but she called and said he can't breathe. all the grand kids were all over there. dying slowly was not what he wanted.
Dundee was the motivator who helped Ali in the greatest fights. Sugar Ray Leonard to his biggest bout. The teacher of left jab an overhand right. he teach hundreds of young men that move. what else is he was a role model of integrity in the sports that often lacked. Bruce Trampler said " he was the greatest ambassador for boxing, the greatest goodwill ambassador in a sport where there's so much animosity and enemies. Bruce trampler was the longtime matchmaker first to work for Dundee in 1971. Dundee favorite line was, "It doesn't cost anything more to be nice."
