    maybe, I just dont see Mosley having the feet/movement to get in range enough to trouble Ken with his dynamic punching.

    Among other things, had he done that, then we would not have to hear about how Floyd is the greatest fighter since Achilles!

    Same day weigh in or day before? If same day, Ken would be fighting a badly weakened Mosley and i think he would win comfortably.
    If day before, I'll take the 10-15lbs heavier Mosley to win a narrow points decision

    You know my first thought was Mosely would eke out a decision but after reading your posts I agree, Ken was a great technician and I think he'd take a close fight. Very good analysis of this fight on your part

    Mosley would never be able to make 135 same day in Buchanan’s era. If all things are equal, I think Buchanan wins as the smarter and better fighter.

    One of the greatest displays of boxing I've ever seen was Ken Buchanan vs Donato Puduano in a catchweight fight when Ken was the lightweight king and Puduano was a contender at 147lbs.
    Buchanan was beautiful, he moved like a cross between Willie Pep and Joey Giardello.
    Only for a certain hands of stone the Scot would have reigned for another 2 or 3 years

    The ridiculous overrating of Buchanan never ceases to amaze me.
