    From the early sixties:

    Jim Cooper, Teddy Haynes, Dave Charnley, Dave Coventry,
    Frankie Taylor, Jackie Brown, and Brian Cartwright.

    Then there were those third men in the ring such as
    Harry Gibbs, Mickey Fox, Pat Floyd, Bill Williams,
    Wally Thom, Ike Powell, and Jack Hart.

    Many will remember Wally Thom as a boxer.

    I wonder if any of the English boxers that toured Canada in 1976
    are staying connected to the sport.
