He is arguably the greatest professional boxer this country has ever produced and one of the hardest punchers of the fistic game.
This latest inductee into the Stabroek Sports’ Boxing Hall of Fame is none other than the late Patrick Forde.
Forde, a featherweight, was five feet, 10 inches in height and had a reach of 185cm.
His career spanned 11 years from 1976-1987 and he was the younger brother of Reginald Forde, who was no slouch at the amateur and professional levels where he ended with distinguished careers.
