never knew him as a boxer but being an 80's child he was a well know tv celebrity who came across as a lovely bloke on tv game shows

I've just seen it. I was never a boxing fan, but you didn't have to be to like this guy. RIP.

A man and a gentleman, through and through.

Any man who could knock Ali to the canvas was someone special if you ask me!

Absolute legend - one of my first memories was when he hit Ali hard and he managed to stay up - But at least Henry will splash it all over

We were glued to the radio during his fights and really thought he had done it when Cassius Clay aka Mohammed Ali went down. Remembered fondly.

I saw your post, Cazz, as soon as it came up but (as I've never been a boxing fan)i decided not to contribute to this thread. However I've changed my mind and come back here to describe HC as a 'true gentleman'. I note that those words (or something similar) have already used by WelshYorkie, AYG, Mamya, Arti & ClassyLady.

Isn't it strange how most people would probably find it hard to define exactly what makes a 'true gentleman' but everyone seems to know one when they encounter him?
