You know what I love my boxing and to hear Ken have to go through this shit and talk about coming back it makes me sick to the stomach. And the worst thing is, its always the boxers that end up piss poor. From Doc Kearns through to Don King, they make fortunes and who ends up the loser. Sometimes I think is it worth supporting a sport when the ones we love and respect end up brain dead and broke but some spikey haired murdering cunt and his friends end up millionaires. Funny old world.
If Ken had a big punch he would have been unstoppable, but then if he had a big punch he might not have developed into such a classy boxer. Deserved a rematch with Duran.
I agree Duran kneed him in the balls, and they didnt give a rematch. I feel sorry for him. I really do, one of the best pound for pound fighters of all time.
There should be a fund they donate some of their purse to for extremities like this.Pure class sportsmen living life in poverty.I remember a few years back Henry Cooper had to sell his Lonsdale and championship belts for cash to get by.
In away your right but its not the boxers that need to put their hands in their pockets its the promoters. I know the likes of Ali Tyson and so on earnt money that you and I can only dream of but what we don't see is how much goes into the promoter's back pocket.
I Totally agree the promoters especially ones like Don King are nothing more than pimps.They use boxers like pimps do to Hookers use them till the body has gone then toss them away like a peice of shit.
Brilliant interview and very insightful. Ken Buchanan was a pure boxer! Beautiful to watch in his prime, i wish boxers had a pension or some type of job they can get after retiring.
The interviewer doesn't mind touching on awkward subjects does he? Fuckin hell. "Is your life shit now Ken, is it, is it?"

Buchanan lost nearly every round prior to the low blow, how is that a robbery?

I wish he was doing better.
It would be sad to see him come back.
Saoul Mamby came back at 60 and lost a ten round decision recently.
Don't do it, Ken.

The promoters should be held accountable.
