    Anyone who knows my post’s knows I rank Benny as a goat on the pantheon, but I also say Buchanan is severely underrated so who wins this battle at lightweight, 15 rounds

    I wouldn’t say Buchanan is underrated on here if anything he’s overrated.

    Really? Do you think he’s overrated in general or just on here? Genuinely curious

    Benny can do anyting that Buchanan can do except Leonard can also hit like a mule. Benny Leonard perhaps was even a better boxer then Ken Buchanan.

    Now don’t get me wrong here.
    I loved Buchanan and recognise how good he was I’m not diminishing him as a fighter in any way.
    I think in general he may be a tad underrated but on here a tad the other way.
    There’s not many head to heads Kenny has been tipped to lose on here!

    You have to favor Leonard here, but at his best Buchanan was no pushover and it would be competitive
