    RIP Chris.

    Excellent fighter...Olympic Gold Medalist (beating Mate Parlov on the way), top contender light heavyweight in the early 1970's. One of the better British fighters never to win a world title IMO.

    Lost in his only title shot against the great Bob Foster in the 1972 Fight of the Year, giving a great performance over one the greatest lightheavies ever and certainly one of the hardest punching.

    He will be missed.....RIP

    Didn't know he had past on. And didn't know he was that old. I hate to hear that.
