    Bob Fitzsimmons
    Randolph Turpin
    Alan Minter
    Jock McAvoy
    Herol Graham
    Terry Downes

    Some good fighters there.


    I've just been reading up on the 70's MW scene.

    Kevin Finnegan and Tony Sibson etc.


    My Grandad used to box at MW in the Navy.

    Back in the late 40's-early 50's.

    He met Randolph Turpin a few times. He said that he was a lovely man, and that he had an incredible physique.

    He also met his brother, Dick, who was also an accomplished boxer.
