Ike v Ken?

Wow. What a great fight you would have here...I guess I would pick Williams to tend to dominate a trilogy. He was probably more consistantly brilliant.

 

No, I don't mean the other way around. Though I think maybe we mean slightly different things. I wouldn't like to see Buchanan matched with Williams outside of his 1970-1973 ish window of excellence. On the other hand you got Williams beating Jack and Agnott something like a decade apart.

Sure he had odd moment in betweeen - almost anybody would with a schedule like that - but it's a huge number of years to be contesting at the very highest level.

Buchanan is one of those rare peak type of fighters for me. For example, I wouldn't expect Watt to extend the Laguna version of Buchanan as completley as he did the post-Duran version (though Watt was a cracking fighter).

If these two inhabited the same division for a decade, meeting 3 times through six years, I would expect Ike to come out on top.

 

That's probably fair, though I might be tempted to go back a bit further - maybe to 44. Not that it matters, really. Peak for peak Buchanan could certainly beat Williams, but unless Ken is catching Williams green or old, if they were contesting the division, I would pick Ike to come out on top.

 

Fat cow.

 

wtf?
