    Anyone remember Johnny Prescott? He fought and lost in his bid to take Henry Cooper's British Commonwealth Title.

    Yes.
    He had an intense rivalry with the “golden boy” Billy Walker.
    Both fought Henry and lost and split their 2 fights.
    Both no more than British level but great entertainment at the time.
