Duran/Buchanan: Why no Rematch?

Duran was told be a fortune teller he would win a world title from a man in impessive fashion and then rematch his opponent and get schooled in the rematch despite being in just as good shape as the first fight, Duran believed this man was Ken Buchanan so tried to cheat destiny but no one cheats destiny

 

It was the lateral movement that did it, he just couldn't cope with the multi-directional quick feet, rapier jab and defensive prowess of the scot.

 

Literally rather than not having the heart

 

I didn't realise you were that clever:good

Apparently Mosley isn't a big enough draw

 

Perhaps Ken wanted to be able to have kids in future

 

:twisted: but also


I'm glad I have these little faces to express myself otherwise I'd be lost.

 

Do you have a source for this? I'd love to read it. Turned out to be Ray...wierd.

 

vocab mate, go read a dictionary :good

 

nah just made it up mate

 

probably because the scottsman didnt want another does of brutalization. Ken probably felt he was too low on ability and couldnt compete

 

it didn't happen because duran's manager didn't want a re-match.king ken pursued a re-match for years:good

 

I remember reading that. Duran would probably have won more decisively in a rematch,but it's interesting to note that years later,after fighting people like Leonard and Hagler,that Roberto always named Ken as his toughest ever opponent. That is indeed respect to Buchanan,and deservedly so.
