    this is just a thread to honour colin bell, and maybe after looking at all the contemporary (and other) articles on Colin Bell, maybe we might have found a fighter who was a little better than he is often given credit nowadays.

    This first article seems to suggest that he lacked the killer instinct to be a top range fighter.
