Handed Clay / Ali his first defeat... I don't care if the record-books show differently, Our 'Enry knocked him out and Angelo Dundee cheated!

RIP big fella!

I met him once, when I was at school he came in to give a talk, we were all short anyway but he towered over us. He had a real presence.

He seemed to be a really nice bloke, considering his trade.
