    I am debating this fight with a friend and wondered what the perception was here at ESB? I checked the search function and did not find this listed so I am guessing it has not been done before or at least not recently? So who would win this fight at LW and how??? also who do you rate higher between the 2???

    Ken Buchanan makes Edwin look rather ordinary after weathering a few rocky moments (maybe) in the first or 2nd round...then he outboxes him and really dominates him over the last 4 or 5 rounds of a 15 rounder. This is no slap at Chapo, but he wasn't in Buchanan's class by any means.

    I happen to agree with this 100%.Kenny beat Laguna twice and IL is better than Chapo.

    Buchanan by dominant decision. Rosario was a useful boxer-puncher before he became full of his own shite over his power and got thumped by Chavez, but Buchanan would most likely have been a bit too good for him. It was Rosario's power that made him stand out, something that may as well have been null and void against Kenny's clock - the man was unbelievably tough in addition to being a master boxer.

    Them championship rounds would be where Edwin would be really found out IMO.

    Buchanan is overrated because he fought Duran. Rosario would stop him.

    True enough, even though Laguna was at the end of his career and a little faded.

    What i find funny is that in another thread people are telling PowerPuncher he is a bad poster(and he isn't), whilst we have you posting your usual highly embarrassing stuff.

    On the point about PowerPuncher, that's not a dig at Red Cobra, who is one of my favourite posters.

    Powerpuncher is arrogant though,and hes always the first to start bitchin.
    He is also hoplessly biased. He likes to think he is original,but for originals sake.

    He is biased, but he's not an embarrassing troll or anything like that.
