Is Terry Flanagan better than prime Ken Buchanan? I know someone who thinks he is.

    What are your intellectual thoughts on this subject of current vs past. This person I know thinks every current fighter is better than every past fighter because boxing has evolved. When I watched clips of the two all I could see was a massive difference in skills in favour of the Sweaty Sock Ken Buchanan. If Ken B jumped in a time machine and came to this era could the more evolved Flanagan beat him. Would Ken B jab pizza faces left right and centre in this era of evolved boxers? Would Ken beat Lenares? Could he beat the more evolved Anthony Crolla?

    I'm not trolling. Lots of boxing fans think Buchanan is a face first brawler.

    I am not trolling. Buchanan had a weak jab, poor footwork and a glass jaw.

    Brilliant tribute of Ken Buchanan ^.
    After watching this highlight footage of Ken how well do you think he would do in this era against highly evolved boxers like Turbo Terry

    And with that "weak jab", "poor footwork" and "glass jaw", he lasted 13 rounds with Duran at 135. :yep
