Duran Buchanan rematch

[Scott9945]

This was written in Hands of Stone, Carlos ended up fighting Buchanan and lost. He said he lost his motivation because he wanted Duran for the title and the fight was supposed to happen and did not. Carlos was getting up there in age but certainly had the experience advantage over Duran at that time.

Ortiz was pretty shot by then. Duran would have beaten him up.

would have been a great name to have on Duran's resume but as you stated there would have to been an somewhat tainted win because of Carlos's age

Did Buchanan really want that again? He did receive a beating in the first match.

The desire to rematch Duran preyed on Buchanan's mind for decades after because he flew to New York in 1994 to try and find Duran and challenge him to a fight.

Jeez I knew he was somewhat obsessed with getting a rematch but thought he should of got one prior to the Suzuki loss for the other half of the title. I did not realize Ken was active in 94

He wasn't active in 1994, he probably wanted to fight Duran in the gym or something, I doubt that even he knows what he was doing, perhaps it was simply the drink.

Buchanan deserved a rematch. He lost the lightweight title from a low blow. How often does that happen (awaits obscure fighters I've never heard of to be referenced or ones I have heard of but fights I haven't seen).
