    Just read today of probably Ken Buchanan's last fight - vs. the bottle and alcoholism.

    Supposedly he is suffering from memory loss as well, but unclear whether it was the boxing and/or alcohol that caused it.

    Sad to see fighters whose lives fall apart, after they retire.

    Some seem to do better than others, but sadly not for Ken, who was as clever and brave a boxer as Scotland has ever produced. Benny Lynch went the same way after retiring in the 1930s.
