I grew up hearing how brilliant he was. Unfortunately I only became aware of him in real life after his loss to Charlie Nash, well after his prime.
Arguably the best pure British boxer of all time.

His performance v Duran was a work of art. I had him up. RIP to a great boxer.
As did practically everyone in Britain, Telling that Duran didn't want to fight him again. Prime Duran as well.
It annoys me when people say the ending to the Duran fight was academic because Duran was ahead, regardless of how the fight was going or the scores, you can't win a fight on an illegal shot

This guy should have been far more famous than he was. A true great.
Just think, he was not the household name in Britain that his skill warranted but in the States he topped the bill at Madison Square Garden with Ali on the undercard.
