Where do you rate Ken Buchanan at lightweight

23

 

38

 

I probably would have him towards the back of the top 20. Lightweight is probably the deepest division in history.

 

20-30.

 

about 18 - 20 ish

 

Maybe top 15,certainly top 20.

 

I can see 15, as Mcvey says , no lower than 20. He'd spank a lot of lightweights

 

I'd be interested to see the 37 you place above him S.

 

Hes way down the list for me. Look at the list of lightweight champions that came before him. Almost every single one was better. Then consider the guys who came after him. A quick look over lightweight champions before and after him (and thats just looking at champions) I could place him no better than 28. Thats without factoring in great lightweights who never held a title. I think Buchanan gets overrated for some reason. Ive never really understood why.

 

You may be right when it comes to resume, but you don't think Ken could beat people ahead of him resume wise, cause he's better h2h? I rank Ken in the top 20, and it's likely cause I have him higher in a h2h sense. That jab and movement would give a lot of problems to people "above" him imo

 

Looking again I have him about 28th.

 

19

 

No. Im not simply ranking him on resume. Im ranking him on resume (which his is pretty weak) AND who I think would beat him. I dont see the two as being mutually exclusive in this case.
