    Was Alan Aldenhoven number 2?, struggling with the third guy though and no amount of cheating is helping either.

    Correct again Bentchassis!

    Tried to grade the questions from relatively easy upward.

    If you're old enough to have been around in the TV Ringside days - in this case in the early 70's - you'll definately know of this guy, even though he didn't win a national title.

    Will give additional hints if it's not cracked within an hour or two.

    No, not Les M.R. - But the guy in question fought at least 2 guys that you also did.

    This kid went on to win numerous titles including Comm+ Aust
    what was his name?
    He was about 13 or 14 at this time

    Off the air for a while. But will pick it up later if nobody nails the answer in the mean time.

    Just in case anybody isn't aware, the Hillary we're talking about is Hillary Connolly.

    No not Wilf.
    At the time a racehorse trainer was staying on Hillarys' property and after riding one of his horses work I urged this boxers Dad to buy it
    This horse was never out of a place in a handful of runs and won its last start in NSW.
    This racehorse connection decided the boxers proffesion.
