1. Scroll up to the top o' this here thread.
2. Have a look at the third post, from Mr. C., dated 25 September, 2005.
3. Have a look at the fourth post, a follow-up question from D. MacG, also dated 25 September, 2005.
4. Have a look at the fifth post wherein Mr. C. addresses the fourth post.

The answer to your question lies within those posts, dawson. :wink:

Did anyone ever figure out if the boxer on Peace and Love is indeed Port Glasgow Boxer Hugh Cameron?

I was wearing a t-shirt at the gym today with the Peace and Love cover and I was embarrassed not to know who the boxer was when asked.

What a lame fan I am....

Its hughy cameron, scots flyweight champ. I know his family and can confirm. He also didn't get a penny as the photo was owned by the boxing club. Boxrec.com has some details and he didn't have 11 fingers. His daughter walked into hmv to find a cardboard cut out of her dad and could nt believe it, I think it's a great pic!!

Hughie certainly did not have 11 fingers. Our designer awarded him "one louder" because of course, unlike "Love", the word "Peace" needs 5 knuckles. Is he still alive?
