May 1967 - Floyd's Fall-Oh! - The good old days: An exhausted but victorious Floyd Robertson takes the Commonwealth title which he held until 1961. Floyd Robertson, Ghana's former Commonwealth featherweight boxing champion, lost his crown long before he stepped into the ring on the fateful day in February. His title drained away with his strength as he sweated his excess weight off in the days before his last fight. Since Roy Ankrah gave Briton Ronnie Clayton the battering in 1951 which calypso singers called an assassination, the Commonwealth featherweight title has been something of West African Property.
