In 1994 Ken Buchanan went to New York to look for Roberto Duran

What kind of shady things?

 

Buchanan didn't always have the best of luck but he was also one of those people who was very quick to blame other people for his (percieved) misfortunes.

 

Various deliberate disruptions where he was staying.Sparring partners deliberately trying to injure him etc...

 

Nah....In 1994 Ken Buchanan went to New York to look for Ken Buchanan.

 

Pardon?

 

Just that in most (pretty much all) interviews I've read with KB he seems a quite a bitter person, I'm sure a lot of it is due to how other people treated him but I've never seen him take responsibility for any of the things that went wrong in his life.

He's let a lot of money run through his fingers, and has been an alcoholic since his first retirement which has cost him 2 marriges so I don't think it takes a mastermind to realize where a good percentage of his cash as gone (even allowing for poor management) and yet all though the years I've never once seen him take one ounce of responsbility for what happened to him.

 

Yeah, he wanted to find his "inner" gangsta.

 

I'll root it out at the weekend. :good

 

I always have the details.

Off the top of my head, he was offered a fight in Panama for, what he considered, a derisory purse, and turned it down. It's just the month/year i'm puzzled with at the moment. I'd guess at early 74.

 

What, a fighter, saying he was robbed? Never. :yep
