I, WITH millions of fight fans, was sorry to hear of the death of the
great Peter Kane. One must remember that when he fought the
great Benny Lynch in 1937 for Benny's world title he sure gave
Benny a great contest.
Benny won by a ko in the 13th round, but it is a pity that this
contest was never videod — it would be something to see, when
we had great flyweights.
I maintain a strong, fit Lynch at 8st would have been invincible,
even against Jimmy Wilde. I remember Peter Kane when he was
world champion sending a telegram to Arthur Danahar wishing
Arthur the best of luck in his contest with Eric Boon in 1939.
I will always remember when Arthur Danahar was on the same
bill as Nel Tarleton-Johnny Cusick at Liverpool in 1940; Arthur was
in his dressing room waiting to box Ken Robinson when in came
Peter, who gave Arthur his necktie.

THE PATH to the top in amateur boxing is not always a straightforward or
traditional one. Some boxers do the time-honoured thing, and, after a glittering
junior career with one or more national titles, it is straight into the seniors —
an ABA title and international appearances.
Others are none too successful as a junior but really make their mark in the
17 year plus ranks — John Lyon a case in point. Then there are some who
achieve top status with just a few senior bouts — Frank Bruno became ABA
heavyweight titleholder in 1980 after only 17 senior contests (and three junior)
while five years later, in 1985, Errol McDonald won the welterweight division
with just 23 senior bouts on his medical card.
On the other hand, Billy Wells and Herman Henry were long-serving
amateurs who became ABA champions after years in the sport. Billy won the
first of two heavyweight titles in 1965, while the ageless Herman won the
featherweight division in 1982 and retired at the compulsory age of 35 years
after an incredible 17 consecutive attempts at the title.
The 1990/91 season just past saw George Smith, the Essex lightwelterweight
from the Canvey Island Club crash into the top ratings in just 29
senior contests. George battled his way through the various stages of the ABA
championships to reach the Royal Albert Hall where he lost on points to the
experienced Welsh international Jason Matthews.
