    A true great and a real gentleman.
    He was an artist but was hard as nails.

    Probably a merciful release, given that he was suffering with dementia. A genuine proper world champion, and by all accounts, a decent human being as well.

    Fair winds, and following seas

    Probably the most respected, if not the best, boxer to come from these shores. RIP.

    “Buchanan, like a top-grade malt whisky, held his own in any foreign environment no matter how distant he was from his native shores…he was and remains one of the most accomplished British fighters to fight in foreign rings. His ring style was in some respects a metaphor for his own personality, elusive and tough, and the soaring singularity of his talent was matched by an equally single-minded determination that nobody, but nobody, knew better than Kenny Buchanan what was good for him.”

    That's from The Fight Game in Scotland, written by Brian Donald. Brian boxed Ken three times when they were bairns, went 0-3, and the two remained friends throughout.
