He fought some of the best in the 80s, and even if he lost a good number of fights he still managed to win and defend an IBF title. Rest in Peace.
RIP Buster Drayton

Drayton did it the proper way. On the road, in the away corner, fought all comers.
Most Brits like myself will remember him for upsetting British Olympian Mark Kaylor on the same night that Bonecrusher upset Bruno.
RIP Champ.Comment

RIP old warrior.
Saw this on one of his fights, so strange!
This fight was the semi-final fight of a tournament. According to the papers of the time originally Drayton was announced as the winner, which was very unpopular. Then NJ Commissioner Bob Lee reviewed the scorecards. The day after some papers listed it as a win for Drayton some as a draw. A short time later Lee changed it to a ND and ordered a rematch Nov. 6th. Taylor refused the rematch and Drayton advanced in the tournament to fight Kevin Perry.Comment
