Gil Clancy

Gil Clancy was born on May 30th, 1922. Clancy is a Hall of Fame boxing trainer and one of the most noted boxing commentators of the 1980s and 1990s. Over the years he worked with such famous boxers as Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier, and George Foreman. He also worked in the 1990s with Oscar de la Hoya, coming out of retirement to do it. The fighter with whom Clancy is most indentified is Emile Griffith. Clancy was Griffith's first and only trainer and guided him to several world championships. Clancy is a member of the International Boxing Hall of Fame. In 1983, he won the Sam Taub Award for excellence in boxing broadcasting journalism.

He is married to Nancy Clancy, and has six children and many grandchildren.

After the famous No Más Fight between Roberto Duran and Sugar Ray Leonard was stopped in the 8th round when Duran quit with a "¡No más! ¡No más!", it was Gil Clancy who first suggested that Duran must have quit due to stomach distress and probably had to use the bathroom. Ultimately, this turned out to be just about what Duran later said himself.
