Ken Buchanan

[CFH]

I just watched his fight with Duran and although he lost he struck me as a very skilled, slick boxer. This was the first time I have ever seen him, how good was he?

Well apart from the fact he is called Ken not Henry

He was a great fighter some people put him as the best british fighter ever, id have him above Hatton as the better of the brits. But he was a class act. Top 4 best ever Brits id say without a doubt.

I realized that after I typed it. But I was tired and in bed at that point and didn't feel like getting up to change it. I don't know why Henry stuck in my head, is there someone famous named Henry Buchanan or something? I'll change it now.

Going by the fight with Duran, I'd say his boxing skills were far superior to anything Hatton possess, but they're completely different fighters so it's hard to compare them. I do think that if they fought, again just based on the Duran fight, Buchanan would probably come out on top.

Was he ever very vocal about the controversy surrounding the stoppage in the Duran fight? From what I saw, albeit via a bad camera angle with the ref partially in the way and grainy footage, it clearly appeared to be a low blow that Duran hit him with after the bell that caused the TKO stoppage. Was it just the rising popularity of Duran that made the commission etc. overlook the unfairness of the stoppage?

Oh yes Kens skills way better than Rickys but i meant he is ranked higher as accomplishments go.

Ken also beat Jim Watt and he earned the respect of the yanks because he fought over there quite a lot. Sad to her about his current situation.
