I meant both of you. If the cap fits, wear it.

By 1970-71, Ken Buchanan was not only the best fighter in Great Britain, but the best fighter of the whole Europe!

Yes, at the time, he was pound per pound better than Nino Benvenutti, Howard Winstone, Johnny Famechon, Alan Rudkin, Walter McGowan, Bruno Arcari, Carmelo Bossi, and Joe Bugner.

In 1998. Oscar De La hoya was the #1 pound for pound fighter in the World.
