Freddie bombs out an over the hill Len but then has his potential career frozen due to the war. Freddie still made it to the top but sadly mis-matching (to put it mildly) ensured his career was over very quickly. Len Harvey was a tremendous talent at many weights but just could not make that final step to world champion level.
