    I thought about Welsh when I saw your post Greg but it seemed twattish to argue in a remembrance thread for such a brilliant fighter.

    No problem mate, it's no slight on Ken, who was a brilliant boxer.

    A textbook boxer who wasn’t shy about mixing it up. A credit to the sport.

    RIP champ.

    RIP champ. Ken Buchanan was an amazing fighter with an ATG jab. What a skilled operator he was.

    Buchanan’s smooth boxing was poetry in motion. What a master boxer.

    Yes, that's what i meant by "out in Tulsa" and it was nice to see they didn't forget him.

    The WBC tried to honour him with a tweet, fortunately, Twitter was full of people saying "you were the scumbags who worked on the BBBBC not to recognise his world title claim, **** off" :lol:

    Ken was Great Great, Duran should have been shot, or I mean disqualified. He was robbed!
