Where does Ken Buchanan rank in Britains ATGs. I know he only held his title at 135 for a short while, but lost it to arguably the greatest lightweight ever.
Where do you place him in relation to Lewis, Hatton, Scott Harrison, Calzaghe etc ?
It's pretty much the first thing anyone remembers whenever Ken gets a mention. He deserves better really but I've never seen a better shot to the stones!!:boxing:
Lol precision - cock and both balls - BOOM - Punished! :boxing: lol
It's unfortunate that his lasting memory with American boxing fans was him crumpling to the canvas in agony from a Roberto Duran shot to the nugs.
Even here in Scotland thats the lasting memory to be honest!
Guys an Arsehole but he game - im 24 and twice his size and he started a fight with me! Lucky i didnt break his hip the Old Prick!
Good fighter in his day tho but IMO Lewis, Hatton, Benn, Hamed, Eubank, Calzaghe and probably a few others rate above him
Ken was a fine boxer, who has some excellent wins on his resume, and of course he only lost his title to one of the greatest lightweights ever. He's in the British top 5 at the very least, alongside Jimmy Wilde, Kid Lewis and Lennox.
I'd personally have Kid Lewis as the British #1, but I wouldn't argue with anyone who has Buchanan there instead.
