    Hopefully he's the one then - remember he didn't fight in the pros.

    CHB... I imagine this relates to an entertainment charactor... like Dean Martin, Mickey Rourke, Billy Joel, Jack Palance... all of whom boxed....

    I'll take a stab, and say Chris Isaac... the singer????

    'crowned amatuer welterweight champ.....' I made an error in reading..... Billy Joel is the man!!!

    I'm quoting this because its not a boxrec lookup, but if you know your boxing you know this guy.

    Afraid not. Light a cigarette and all will become clear.

    OK, chucking a hint out there. My "untimely death" was in the US.
