Sandy Saddler vs. Henry Armstrong who wins?

Question

Featherweight fight

Answer 1

Brent ~
Great question! Henry in my opinion would beat Sandy, Sandy was a tough fighter but Henry, the only man to hold titles in three different weight divisions at the same time was the crisper, cleaner puncher of the two and his overall ring generalship would surely separate him from Sandy.

Answer 2

Hey Brent F! Another great boxing question man! Saddler beat Willie Pep three times in his career and was a very rough fighter. Armstrong on the other hand held three titles at the same time which I find amazing. Armstrong was all action and nonstop fighter and I believe he would have went after Saddler and got the better of many toe to toe exchanges and won a decision.

Answer 3

that's confusing to p.c.. hostile to Armstrong besides the undeniable fact that the shown actuality that he fought each of ways as a lot as middleweight, fantastically throughout his era, tells me that he replaced into under no circumstances a organic featherweight. He replaced into suited at light-weight and nonetheless effectual at welterweight. Saddler had little fulfillment previous featherweight. Armstrong could honestly have the style to problem Saddler. He could attempt to get interior, the position his style could nullify Saddler's attain and shrink the outcome of his punches. the version could be that Armstrong supplies up more effective, in making weight. confident, he could benefit weight after the weigh-in yet Saddler could do likewise and carry the load more effective acceptable. both combatants were liable to fouls. as a effect, Armstrong suffers more effective because he replaced into also liable to swelling, more effective so than replaced into Saddler. i love right now's regulations yet with 15 rounds. human beings have a tendency to ignore how before those 2 fought. i imagine Saddler could be superior and larger effectual at featherweight. Saddler W15
