He flattened a host of fighters in the London ABAs in 1988, culminating in a first-round knockout of Kevin Lueshing to win the the London ABA welterweight title.
However, Logan was flattened himself in the first round by Mark McCreath in the next stage.

I remember McCreath flattening Logan in the then english semis,the round before McCreath stopped Dean Hartman from clacton in the 3rd round in what was a very good fight,he also beat Mark Elliot in a earlier round...

McCreath won the ABA title that year and was perhaps a bit unlucky not to make the Seoul trip, although he had burst onto the scene and the selectors hate that.

Yeah he came out of nowhere that year,if my memory serves me correct Elliot went as a light welter to Seoul..the night McCreath beat Elliot,Nevillie Brown beat Richie Woodhall but blow his olympic trip by getting blown away by a young Wayne Ellis in the semis...

Yeah, they dropped Mark down to light-welterweight but he picked up a freak thumb in the eye in his first fight of the Olympics against a Frenchman, and it was all over within seconds. They didn't take a welterweight. The gifted, erratic and occasionally fragile Brown pissed on Woodhall in that meeting, their only meeting, winning by three scores of 60-57. However, his relationship with England coach Kevin Hickey was not good, so it was Woodhall who got all the nice England jobs when he never won an ABA title. However, Neville really liked Richie, and Woodhall was undoubtedly a talented kid, losing only to Roy Jones in the Games.
