How good was Ken Buchanan compared to the best of later era's?

[Penis-Bacon!]

I think Chavez was better.

Roberto was a level above Chavez. He doesn't stop the great Mexican though.

Duran, Chavez and Ortiz are 3 of the best body punchers I've seen on tape.

I think Chavez was better.

Chavez Sr was a great, great fighter but not better than Duran, especially not a lightweight Duran
