    Ike was a level or two above Buchanan.

    Ike. Kenny was great but Ike was clearly close to or at the top of the food chain at 135.

    I hate to say it... but Williams is an oversold bill of goods and likewise, Ken is consistently undersold. I feel there is more chance that Ken has the style to shade Williams in a decision than Williams has the style to beat Williams in any manner. Ken's jab was one of the best the division ever saw and his footwork was immaculate. He had a very high boxing IQ and studied his opponents. If Sammy Angott can keep things close, Ken can get the nod.

    I like Buchanan in this fight and I base it off fight IQ he was doing well with Duran. Duran to this day says he was his toughest opponent I love me some Ike Williams but Buchanan is a smarter fighter than to come forward and fall into a slugout he can't win. It is a styles fight that favors Ken

    Buchanan. What can I say? I’m a sucker for an educated jab and smart footwork.

    Williams would kick Buchanans ass. Itd be ugly. Never understood the love for Buchanan.

    That's a better resume than Buchanan can boast! Oh ,and Williams beat him twice before their third fight in which he suffered a rib injury.
