Ken Buchanan was a big strong lightweight so he would have easily competed with today's welters.
After watching the vid of Ken boxing great fighters like Duran, Laguna and Ortiz who do you think could maybe beat Ken from this era?
What boxer from this era have you seen perform the moves that the Buchanster shows in that vid?
best thang i like about him is his JAB. i like how he PLACES it where its supposed to be and its a consistent stiff hard jab.
i dont really like how he stands skraight up when he throws that right hand not really fast but when he lets his shots go he's above average in his fluidity i've seen better at lightweight BUT i like his talent tho
Ken had an ATG jab. Great feet as well. He is a bit open up top but he made up for it by having a seriously tough chin. The only lightweights im confident would beat him convincingly are Duran obviously because he did, Prime Ortiz, Pea, Gans and Benny Leonard. I think Kens jab and movement would give SSM and ODLH serious problems. Mayweather would beat Ken as well obviously, but in a very close fight. He jabs Pacs face off imo.

see this is how i know you dont know shit about boxing, in one breath you compared them in the very next you claiming they the polar opposite lmfao.
Watch the sport enjoy it and learn some more before you try to discuss it.
The fact you don't know **** about the Kenster Buchanster and the fact you think The Kenster would be open to Margaret's telegraphed body shots leads me to think it is you that infact DKSAB.
Honestly I've just seen the Duran fight dude. What other fights you recommend?
The Laguna fight was very close. Laguna being an ATG lightweight. Buchanan just shaded it, then he beat Laguna in the rematch at MSG.
Buchanan vs Paduano is an absolute masterclass but the footage is garbage
didng duran stopped him.
and margarito and duran fight nothing alike lol so that comparison is just idiotic.
Duran had to nut shot Ken to win and went on to say Kens the best boxer he ever faced. It's probably the worst low blow in boxing history.
Yeah your right Margarito and Duran fight nothing alike. Margarito being completely garbage compared to Duran. Buchanan would absolutely school Margarito.
Margarito will grind his ass into submission. his body is wide open for those looping ass body shots
Yeah because if Duran can't Margarito will LMAO.
Ken would have Margarito sporting a pizza face after 15 rounds of complete domination.
but few fighters like him 2day duran was tough enough to wear down a very solid and prideful champ like this irish man if im correct.a fight btween him and fuigueroa would be fun 2 watch as long as it lasted though.
Buchanan is from Edinburgh Scotland. He wasn't just teak tough in the chin and body department, He also had an insane will to win and was a technical marvel with an ATG Jab and beautiful footwork. No modern fighter competes with him.
if linares had better chin probably to versatile fast and agile 4 him but might gues barthelemy if i had 2 pickbut few fighters like him 2day duran was tough enough to wear down a very solid and prideful champ like this irish man if im correct.a fight btween him and fuigueroa would be fun 2 watch as long as it lasted though.
