GARGANO IS
OLYMPIC HOPE
Says GEORGE WHITING
Thirty-two years ago a middleweigh! named Harry Mallin and a cruiserweight named Harry Mitchell brought home gold medals to mark the winning of Olympic boxing honours in Paris.
Since then, there has been no other. The fires of Olympic competition have burned ton fiercely for Britons-even for such stars of subsequent professional magnitude as Cuthbert Taylor, Jack Garland and Fred Webster (in Amsterdam), Harry Mizler and Dave McCleave (in Los Angeles), Jack Treadaway and Freddie Simpson (in Berlin), dock Gardner (in London) and Dal Dower, Peter Waterman and Henry Cooper (in Helsinki).
