I would agree with this he would be pushed hard by another great technical boxer which was pat cowdell who was a great stylist
I'm with you on Cowdell too Spudder. Also Howard Winstone.
Of the current crop, Thomas Patrick Ward.

Buchanan and Winstone were stablemates.

Probably the best win by a British boxer and he did it twice.

After only ever seeing the rematch and searching high and low for Buchanan's world title winning effort against Laguna in their 1st fight,, I stumbled upon it the other day and finally watched it earlier, great contest between 2 of the great Lightweights, both quality operators and fundamentaly near perfect
I have recently found this same footage and watched the whole fight for the 1st time. I agree with your summary of the bout. A truly good-good stuff!
After I finished watching it, I was trying to find some forum discussions about this fight. Didn't find many. Your thread is the one that popped up.
I wonder, how did you score it? How did you see the fight round-by-round?

I hear you. Well, if you'll feel like watching it again (and maybe scoring it) - I'd be happy to discuss it. Some of those rounds were hard to score.
