Sad to report legendary Philadelphia trainer Nazim Richardson passed away this morning. He was known for training world champions Bernard Hopkins, “Sugar” Shane Mosley and Steve Cunningham among others. Richardson was also the one who caught Antonio Margarito being taped with plaster pads in his hand wraps before Margarito’s fight with Mosley.
