RIP Bert Sugar

Most people today, if they knew him at all, probably just knew him as the guy with the hat. But when he was editor of The Ring and Boxing Illustrated they were generally regarded as two of the best sports magazines ever.

But before he got into journalism, he was one of the top advertising men in New York, creating ads for some of America's biggest companies.

And before that, he earned an MBA and a law degree from the University of Maryland was an attorney.
