At 140 lbs. A good boxing match would ensue here. Both men stylish fighters and Ken would handle the slight extra poundage quite easily. I go for a Buchanan victory over the distance but it would be a close one.
Marsh was a good boxer. I remember he had to retire just after koing Joe Manley for the title because of Epilepsy. His prime never really played out. He could possibly have improved if he had been allowed to keep fighting. Based on what we know, I think the experienced, well schooled Buchanan would win a decision.
I remember he fought a Japanese or a Korean after Manley. Ended with a head clash and technical decision if I remember rightly.
I think the Japanese bloke had decked Pryor. [EDIT] He had, but had since been stopped a couple of times.
This week it was announced that he'd entered a 'Boxing Chess' tournament. Apparently it involves a few rounds of chess followed by a bit of Boxing. Quite surreal :huh
I agree he beat a good boxer in Paduano whom I would pick over Marsh, who was in the right place at the right time.imo.
In his next fight welterweight Paduano took Clyde Gray to a majority decision .I think he beats Marsh.
