Ranking Ken Buchanan

[dan_cov]

A fighter I have seen so little on its ridiculous despite having a lot of his fights on various DVDs & even the old VHS tapes.
Anybody got any recommendations on which fights of his too watch and maybe not watch?

Laguna, aging Ortiz, the Duran fight although he lost, Jim Watt.

His fight with Benny Benitez is on YouTube, only a 8 rounder with a novice but it's an enjoyable fight to watch, he shows a great display of all round ability, inside fighting, counter punching, excellent jab, although he shows that jab in all of his fights.

Whilst being patient at times and a good technical boxer he tended to get drawn into shoot outs a lot. A lot of heart and grit.

Very good fighter.

"Too much home cooking"

Seems to be the standard response when it comes to foreign (non-american) fighters these days. Literally couldn't be any further from the truth

Home cooking? Only 4 of his 69 fights were in Scotland and none in his hometown!

In his biggest fights he fought Laguna in San Juan, Laguna, Duran, and Ortiz in New York, Otero in Miami Beach and Toronto, Navarro in Los Angeles, Velazquez in Madrid, Ishimatsu in Tokyo, Puddu in Cagliari, Nash in Brondby, Steyn in Johannesburg, Hernandez and Ford in London, and Watt in Glasgow.

Ray is not keen on fighters from this side of the Atlantic so he'll throw in stuff like 'too much home cooking' to discredit them (look how he slams the klitschkos for instance ... he'd probably have them losing to Jerry Quarry or Zora Foley indeed I'd love to see a thread where ray tells us who from the past Wlad loses to ... I'm guessing everybody in the top 50 from 1910 to 1990) ... that aside he knows his stuff.
