Longtime boxing trainer Angelo Dundee passed away Wednesday at the age of 90. He was most known for training Muhammad Ali and Sugar Ray Leonard through their boxing careers. Ali won the heavyweight championship of world on three separate occasions, the only person to do that, between 1964 and 1978. Leonard won many world titles in several different weight classifications which included welterweight and middleweight. Dundee would usually prepare Ali for upcoming bouts at the 5th Street Gym in Miami. Late in his career, Dundee trained George Foreman as he won the heavyweight title for the second time in 1994.
