Legendary cornerman Angelo Dundee, the man who helped motivate Muhammed Ali and many other boxing champs, died Wednesday, a source close to Ali said.
He was 90.
Dundee died Wednesday in Florida from natural causes, Dundee's son Jimmy Dundee told CNN affiliate WFTS.
Dundee, known for being a supreme motivator, was inducted in the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1992. His biography on the hall of fame website reads like a who's who list of boxing royalty.

RIP Dundee
Float like a butterfly and croak like a frog!
One of boxing's greatest trainers/ spokesmen during the era of great fighters. Too bad he had to watch the deterioration of his sport over the years
RIP.

Sad news but – wasn't he already dead?
Romney winning Florida probably did it...
