Max Schmeling dies at 99.
http://espn.go.com/classic/obit/s/20...4/1984439.html That is pretty old, for anyone.

Not quite the "tragedy" feel to it when the guy is 99. It's more of a "how did he hang around so damn long" thing.

It was the top news story yesterday and today.
Besides being a worldclass boxer he was world class as a man. |

Yeah, he'll be the most well remembered person associated with Nazism.
Really sounds like a great guy. His knockout of Louis was rather vicious. |
