“Si was a great guy and a good friend. As a manager, he always fought for his boxers. If nobody else cared, Si dijaga; jika mereka tidak boleh melakukannya, Si would do it. I was with him nearly 10 years and nobody was throwing money our way. It was hard for us. I only made enough money in a few fights, seperti apabila saya memenangi gelaran dunia, where he took any money. If Si had your back, dia akan berperang dengan anda.

“Dia akan memandu dari Key West ke Miami untuk melihat saya tetapi, bukannya tinggal semalaman, dia akan memandu kembali. Dia akan memanggil saya memanggil saya 10 times while he drove home. He was so happy to get me a promotional contract (Promosi AK di Korea) dan tidak sabar untuk perjuangan saya Oktober 4^ke- in Korea. I’m dedicating that fight to Si and we’ll be doing something special.”

“Si adalah lebih daripada pengurus saya,” Williams offered. “Beliau adalah kawan baik, yang yakin saya sentiasa boleh bergantung kepada nasihat, in and out of boxing. Si was an all-around good man. We had many deep discussion about politics and religion, saya menjadi seorang Kristian dan Si Yahudi, terutama menghabiskan begitu banyak hari bersama-sama dalam Romania.

“We all lost a good man in Si Stern. I was proud to be represented by Si. He wasn’t in boxing for the money. He was an important part of my life. He was always there for me and all of his fighters. Si never took a short cut or spared money. Si Stern was the best manager I ever had.”
