    How goes the great Kenny Buchanan, against the legendry Manny Pacquiao?
    I think Ken poses problems for Manny and could get himself a decision here.
    15 rounds?

    I agree. It definitely wouldn't be Buchanan v Duran 2!

    there is no way ken Buchanan wins never that is crazy.Pacquaio power,speed would bust him up & finish him by 10th easily.I can't believe people think Pacquiao would actually lose to this guy.

    Don't think so.Buchanan was a good boxer Pacquaio was a p4p great.His style,speed & power would easily be to much for Buchanan.

    Manny won both rematches against Eric & became the first fighter to stop him in both 2nd & 3rd fights.He beat Eric so bad in their second fight s he was never the same again.I can't believe people think Manny would actually lose to this chump.

    Erik Morales was borderline shot, he had lost to Barrera a fight before in a war, managed to beat Pac in another war then lost to Zahir Raheem yet decided to fight Pac a couple months after.

    Any credibility you have and I suspect that’s not much has gone with that last sentence.

    This could be a great fight,Fergy. And it's a YES from me. Ken's jab could give Manny problems.

    Buchanan by close decision.

    I am ashamed to admit I have never watched Duran vs Buchanan! Does that fight hold any clues to how his showdown with Manny would go?

    I know Ken was extremely highly regarded by the US boxing press at the time. He was also an undisputed champ and beat the extremely quick (although light hitting) Laguna so he could handle speed, but could he handle pressure and Manny's power?

    Could imagine it being a right clash of styles and one of those edge of seats fights, Stevie.

    I would favor Buchanan over the distance here, but I wouldn't bet big on this one.
    Peak Pacquiao was capable of delivering extraordinary performances and upsetting major talents.
