Jim Watt vs Ken Buchanan | Undisputed: The Life and Times of Ken Buchanan | BBC Scotland 

RIP Kenny . A true boxing legend.

The 'no bad word' speech at the end was the mark of a true sporting gent. Boxing at it's very finest.

RIP Ken Buchanan. A true all time great

R. I. P Ken Buchanan. True Scottish Legend 🥊

Rest In Peace, You Legend Of Boxing Ken!

It's so nice to hear folks thoughts about Ken,he was in the same care home in Leith Edinburgh as my dad and I've been fortunate enough to have many conversations with him about his life,he was the most humble man I've ever met,when ever I would harp on about his many achievements he would always say"I'm just a guy from Edinburgh"and brush off any praise or adulation. I asked him about his very unusual style and rapier jab and was treated to a playful jab to the stomach (my wife couldn't believe her 55 year old husband was so happy to get a jab from the great man himself)he was still faster than me,to sum up ken Buchanan he was a fighting gentleman.......my wife's cousin Kevin gore has a song Ken Buchanan Edinburgh man well worth a listen. I'll miss talking to and the friendly handshakes of such a nice person who just happened to be one of my heroes I just wish I'd told him that when I had the chance.

RIP Ken Buchanan Ken will be remembered as a boxing legend

Buchanan is Iconic, an incredible Sportsman. RIP Great Man.

Both guys a credit to their sport. Boxers today should follow their example no matter any result.

Excellent human beings. Respect to both gentlemen.

These two were both way before my time as fighters but I always really liked Jim Watt as a ringside commentator: “Make no mistake; this is a TUUUNE up!”

Ken Buchanan is a Scottish Hero.

When boxers were boxers ,total respect.

2 Scottish Legends 👊👊

Two absolute Gentlemen and fine, fine ambassadors of the noble art - something that many of today’s fighters could learn from. And I’m a Sassenach by the way. 😂

R.I.P Kenny met you a couple of times and it was always a pleasure you had time for everyone ❤

Never got the adulation he deserved. Legend is a word to readily these day. Kenny Buchanan was a true LEGEND. I’m glad Edinburgh erected a statue of the great man. RIP KB 💔

Ken Buchanan was probably the best boxer the UK ever had nothing but pure skill

One of the best fights I ever saw, RIP Ken

I met Ken Buchanan before the Benn-Eubank return fight at Old Trafford. Ken was one my foremost boxing heroes and in my eyes, a legend. Your supposed to not meet your heroes but I'm glad I met him. I told him when I boxed as an amateur it was him I tried to copy which brought a big smile to his face. He was supposed to be cold, have a big chip on his shoulder and didn't like Jim Watt, but..... He was friendly, entertaining, and didn't dislike Watt at all. I liked Jim Watt, the man hqd loads of bottle but Buchanan was a one of the greatest ever at 135lbs.

R.I.P. Ken Buchanan. Former 4 time world champion Roberto Duran honored Ken Buchanan yesterday in an interview in his native Panama. Ken Buchanan will always be remembered in Panama because he defeated one of Panama's boxing legends, Ismael Laguna. Of course that he will be remembered the most by Panamanians when he fought Roberto Duran, who became Panama's and Latin America's greatest boxer of all time.

Met Jim Watt a few years ago. Absolute gent

Best display of boxing I've ever seen is Ken Buchanan Lightweight champion of the world vs Donato Puduano Welterweight contender at Madison Square Garden Buchanan's left jab was in Puduano's face all fight and his footwork was better than Fred Astaire. I think the judges were being kind to the Canadian and gave him 2 rounds but King Kenny won 9 of the 10. The Scot was an absolute genius at fighting off the ropes, one of the best I've ever seen.

Ken Buchanan was the greatest Scottish boxer of all time

RIP Kenny an amazing boxer, man and joiner. 🥊

Just heard the sad news that Ken passed away, one of British boxings greats but sadly more rated abroad than he ever was at home. RIP Ken Buchanan.

The fight promoter on TV recently spoke about this fight, both fighters recieved about £8,000 !!! Today this would have been a £million pay out two legends head to head. And these two deserved that.

Ken Buchanan - A man even the great Roberto “Hands of Stone” Duran didn’t want to rematch. Jim Watt was great too.

When men acted accordingly with dignity & grace. No need for trash talk & hype ❤

Proper tough men what a fight this was Great War!!!

I rarely have any time for scots but these two were special in everyway. Great men.

Two great lightweights world champions.

this was a really nice documentary

Definitely an all time great A Warrior & A Legend 🥊

Tribute to ken Buchanan,must be best ever Scottish boxer since Benny Lynch.S/J.Glaswegian living abroad S/J.

I grew up with these two greats but Ken was really something a bit special, a true artist of the noble art.

“You turned your back on the private clubs.” - “well that’s the only place you can fight” 😂🤣💀

One of the nicest guys I've ever worked with

Hard as nails.

2 great great British fighters with Ken a bit taller and a longer reach ….but Jim was a southpaw and highly astute and on the up !!….great fight !.

2:05 I love that response from Buchanan! 🤣 Rest in peace, champ.

A true Scottish sporting icon

Please post the whole fight BBC Scotland. I seen the hd version on your channel last year. It was amazing to see it in that quality. Only versions on RU-vid have all the colours saturated out like some auld video tape.

RIP warrior.

Ken Buchanan was a true great. May he rest in peace 🕊️ ☘️

True of the greats

God bless

The respect shown at end of the fight makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up

Famous last words: He also became European champion for the first time... Interesting fact: He had already achieved the plateau of World Champion. The U.K. has produced some excellent fighters over the years. Alan Minter, Colin Jones for England, Johnny Owen for Wales, although he succumbed, hell of a try...Barry Mc Guigan for Ireland

Ken Buchanan was the best pound for pound British boxer that as ever been . Rip ken you have earned your rite 🙏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Buchanan was tough as they come!!

R.I.P Ken Buchanan 🥊🥊🥊 warrior

RIP, Ken Buchanan

Happy trails Kenny you can rest now

I'm just here appreciating the awesome raw boxing footage of old school UK and the scenery, love it.

Warrior

Jim Watt got to be one of Scotlands greatest sportsmen, an absolute legend, and true gent, i miss him on commentary of the boxing, him and Harry Carpenter were brilliant. Gentleman Jim will always be my favourite boxer.

real hard men, gentle but deadly

RIP Champ 👊

What a man . Looked fit as a butcher’s dog . True sportsman.

Tough men and gentlemen too

Both their guards needed some work😂 hard to choose between them, but as a kid I was drawn to the late great Ken Buchanan🙏

Boxing legends

Numerous interviewers have asked Roberto Duran over the years "Who was your toughest opponent" He always says "Buchanan"

It's a shame there were not more Scottish match ups over the years like Harrison, Arthur, Burns rather than chasing WBO titles.

I found watt to be a very dirty fighter and the ending against O'Grady was a joke as the ref stole the belt from O'Grady because watt couldn't win the fight on his own.

Ken was my sporting hero as a teenager. For me he could do no wrong

Why is Jim W nit being interviewed.

I wish I could find the clip where ken is in the corner ducking and bobbing and his appoint misses him every punch throw.

Ken was the man

Two hard, honourable tough professionals! Back when boxing was a noble art, unlike the disgusting, foul mouthed thugs that are most of today’s boxing landscape.

Those Brits are Awesome

Two great fighters but Ken was a class above

I met Ken when he came to Morecambe in the 80's to fight a local fighter called Alan Lamb. Unfortunately Ken broke his hand sparring a few days before the fight, but still came and watched Alan Lamb fight his replacement on the central pier. My mum gave me the day off school to go to the weigh ins at the Bradford arms pub. Great memories. RIP

Fantastic 😊

No! Colin Jones was Welsh, also forgot to mention Tony Sibson and Kirkland Laing too

😭😭

Was there ever a better straight left in boxing? I don't think so.

RiP Ken Buchanan

I wonder what the purses would have been in such a small venue? Must have been small!

Both Scotlands greats

Josh Taylor talking about hugging and respecting after the bell after he displayed zero dignity following the wrong result against Jack Catterall…..laughable 😆

If this was today... WATT SHOULD RETIRE. HE'S NOT AT THE LEVEL!!! Proof that defeat is not terminal. What a sad sport, or the stuff around it, it has become. Repect to Jim. RIP Ken.

Although in my opinion, Ken was a better boxer than Jim Watt, Watt was very underestimated, soundly beating Howard Davis, a winner of the Val barker trophy for best Olympic gold medalist, and only losing the title to one of the greatest fighters ever, the Brilliant Alex's Arguello on points... Who I think might have beaten Roberto Duran, had they ever met.... This

Sleep well.

Buchanan duran was a great fight I believe Buchanan was winning that fight but they allowed duran to hit low many times in the fight they should have disqualified duran for dirty blows but he got the win

500pound prize money😂

Scotland's pride thanks ken rip agentleman

Anybody see fight with Sean ogrady ? Glasgow kiss cause he was loosing 😂 then argueo Mr watt

Mike Tyson would have ko,d the pair of them

Josh take off that tosh you lost

If Duran didn’t box dirty that fight could have been a different result

Not like nowadays where sometimes family get slaughtered all for the glorification off boxing promotion

Not a hater but all Jim Watt had was a right jab.

2 bums from UK

渋いカードをありがとうございます🎉

anthony joshua could learn a thing or two from Watt and Buchanan. If of course he was willing/capable of doing so.

good friend me his uncle

Jim watt good boxer worst commentator ever lol

Jack all day long!
