Brian Curvis

[Roland]

I have only just read of the death of Brian Curvis. A great warrior and Stalwart. One say born in wrong era, but of course most era's have 'Greats' to be beaten. I well remember his fight with great Emile Griffith. NO SLOUCH HIM. And of course his bout with another worldclass great in Dave Charnley, who certainly was no slouch. I remeber listening to his fight Of the Southpaws' with Dave Charnley ... who of course was a wieght devision below him - these were the days when they fought their contemparies - well most, and nigh certain here, if not in the USA.

I had the good fortune of meeting him, and his brother Clif, another good champion to say the least, when like so many others we supported that terrible Aberfan disaster.

personally I think the money element madse him fight the good un's too early, like so many, who did so to chase the money. JMO

[Roland]

I think, personally he was at his best when Twice beating that Nottingham stalwart Wally Swift.
