"...No one seems to rate Laguna that high..." - Alp
...& that, Alp, is purely the result of ignorance. Laguna was one fine fighter.
Ken Buchanan-How does he rate amongst the Greats @ 135...?

Of course he was a fine fighter.
I'm talking about being one of the Top 20 lightweights in the more than 120 years of boxing history. You have to be much more than a "fine" fighter to deserve that. No one on this thread has said that Laguna deserves to be. I have never seen anyone anywhere rate him in the Top 20.

Yes top 30 is generous. Top 50 is probably a bit more reasonable.Ambling Alp wrote:Buchanan was about even with Laguna and DeJesus. Not many people rate them in the Top 20, let alone the Top 10. When you think of all of the great lightweights in history, Top 30 is being generous.
