Danish all time great Borge Krogh passed away last week at the age of 80. Krogh participated in both the 1960 and 1964 Olympics before turning pro. He moved quickly up the ladder and won the EBU lightweight title in 1966 with fifteen round points win over Frenchman Maurice Tavant.

He retired in 1971 with a record of 43-8-5 and most of his losses came due to cuts. Krogh later became an excellent trainer and was the man behind the likes of WBA super welter champ Ayub Kalule and EBU title holders like Hans Henrik Palm, Jorgen Hansen and Racheed Lawal.
