Wasn't George Hillyard very good in the amateurs?

Keiran Harding from Wales. Won the bronze at the commonwealth games and looked very very good. Had 1 match then left it.

Vijender Singh was a good fighter in a vest. When allegedly had him, there was talk of getting him a commonwealth title shot, he started fighting in India and didn't appear to be taking it seriously. Got stopped by an unheralded Russian.
