I remember him well. He brought several teams of forces boxers to fight against my club when I was a kid. As a kid I can recall the respect and esteem that was bestowed upon hin, and thinking (in retrospect of course) why is he operating at such a grassroots level. Diabolical IMHO.

He does seem rather forgotton south of the border.
maybe its because he never turned pro, most other medal winners did give the pro's a go.
He seems a very modest man in any interviews i've read.
