    Great quote by Forrest there. Lightweight historically is such a tough division all the top 5 guys could beat each other on any night.

    But you also have to take into account Forrest was also 6'0 tall with 73 inch reach.

    Put them in the ring together and Vernon Forrest would jab Buchanan's nose off.

    Absolutely.

    However Buchanan was a guy less than 5' 8" tall with a 70" reach, yet known as a master of the jab and move technique. With all due respect Mosley was no animal like Duran at 135. Shane was too static to cause Buchanan big problems.

    Are you a schoolboy by any chance? Nobody HAS to agree with anyone else. That is why it is known as DEBATING.:roll::roll::nut

    Actually, Buchanan's height was 5'7 1/2 or 171cm.

    1. I couldn't give a toss whether you agree with me or not.

    2. The word " schoolboy " should be self explanatory to anyone with an ounce of common sense.

    Doesn't look like debating, your replies just look like hate and insults. Common sense tells me this.

    Thugs always get the last word I suppose. Maybe you should go to school? Your responses seem perversely ignorant. Btw Sugar Shane mosley is not the greatest lightweight of all time.

    Yeah go to bed, we'll debate when you have a working brain that's not so over sensitive with a boxers height.

    Just my indirect way of emphasizing the obvious difference between fighting a 6' welterweight who jabs well vs fighting a 5'7 lightweight who jabs well.
