Steve Bunce insists all bets should be off when listing the runners and riders for Britain’s greatest ever fighter with Ken Buchanan the unopposed champion.

The BBC boxing pundit paid tribute to his pal who died at the weekend at the age of 77 by claiming the Edinburgh born Scot’s ring career is now immortalised in legend.

As the passing of the former undisputed world lightweight champion was recognised by the great and good of the fight game, Bunce provided an insight into a talent who became unfashionable by the establishment for refusing to bend to their demands.

He said: “We need to drop the greatest Scottish boxer tag with Ken as there’s a really strong case to be made for him being the greatest ever British boxer.
