Lightweights: Hilmer Kenty vs Duran, De Jesus and Buchanan

Post by elmersalsa »

What would be the outcome for the first world champion of the famous Kronk Gym, Hilmer Kenty, if he were in the era of Roberto Duran, Ken Buchanan and Esteban De Jesus....The 70s?

And how about Kenty vs these guys:
Ishimatsu Suzuki
Rodolfo "Gato" Gonzalez
Hector Thompson

Kenty was very tall for a lightweight. He had decent skill and speed, but I think he was brought up to quick to the top. He only had 16 pro fights when he became world champion in '80.

He'd lose to the first three definitely and probably beat the last three.

He has a good shot at beating everyone on the list except Duran, and if Duran was the raw Duran of his early reign, Hilmer had a shot of beating him too.
