    This should be a sterner test for Kenny than Marquez. The stylistic advantage may still be with him, but he's up against a bigger man this time, and someone who has the tools to box with him. Who takes this one?

    Lightweight, 12 or 15 as you like.

    I think Buchanan has a great chance with that darting left jab and excellent lateral movement, he only had trouble in his prime against one of the great pressure fighters, someone who gives him time to box like Floyd may be asking for trouble.... particularly when you are susceptible to a jab

    Buchanan poses the style threat we all wish had been posed already in reality to Mayweather, just out of curiosity. I have the feeling Floyd could do well though. Buchanan is not all pure boxer, he fought a lot too, he was a ring general more than anything and set a great pace. Not a runner, but a mover, a circular motioning boxer who was one of the best to just watch. He's setting a high pace for Mayweather and i think he does very well too. I'm undecided, Mayweather is great at offsetting men with his brilliant defence when all is said and done.

    Close fight but Ken would make Floyd chase and he could counter. Ken was a mover. Floyd had the faster hands but Ken was quick...this could be a close one

    Floyd does most things better in my eyes...he edges out a highly technical and highly competitive one.

    Well Buchanan throws a lot of punches and doesnt let Floyd cruise however Floyd is just an overall better fighter as well as the advantage in speed its competetive but Floyd wins a convincing decision 9-6.

    Buchanan by stoppage is a bit of an odd prediction.

    If Buchanan wins this poll then he is definitely overrated here!!!

    WTF why not a public poll?

    Mayweather would beat Buchanan, I doubt he`d stop him but he`d beat him on points.

    Ps. well done to the thread starter on doing a non-public poll... those things are fkn great :verysad
