Ken Buchanan, who has died aged 77, is among a handful of British names to adorn the International Boxing Hall of Fame but always felt robbed of his true destiny.

Buchanan lost his status as undisputed world lightweight champion in 1972 when Roberto Duran was controversially awarded victory after flooring the Scotsman with a low blow after the 13th bell.
