He said it as he saw it & he did'nt mind upsetting the boxing establishment while he was at it. His gift/skill was in the fact he was a radio trained commentator whose job was to convey you to ringside & a 100% job he made of it. A little bit biased on occasion which he never hid or apologised for "just expressing my honest opinion" he would say & honest he was even if yer never agreed with him & that was why he was so respected along with his brilliance at factual observation & when on TV he just said what needed to be said unlike todays drama duo's who really don't come within a mile of perfecting Harry's smooth style of observation analysis. There would be no room for harry in today's media world as he would'nt put up with any bull**** or be dictated too by todays media PC manderins. When i was a kid & allowed to stay up late listining to fights on the radio with my old man he really made you feel you were right in there blow 4 blow, so to sum Harry up in one word, BRILLIANT
It was not boxing but surely his best line had to be at a Varsity boat race in the 70s: "A lovely touch; the Cambridge's President's wife is kissing the Oxford's cox!"
