Answer 2

this may well be a no brainier Mayweather is the guy good now until somebody beat him then others will beat him Henry Armstrong is the only fighter to hold 3 international titles in 3 different weight classes he could have 2 international call suits in 2 weeks no longer one each six months there are assorted people who would have crushed Floyd Mayweather only to call some Sugar Ray Leonard Aaron Pryor Thomas Hearns Robert Duran AND THE checklist is going ON and on Henry could have destroyed Mayweather if Mayweather attempt ed to combat returned Mayweather has assorted skills and that i,m no longer taking something removed from him yet he's no longer that sturdy. aRMSTRONG by using KNOCK OUT interior the twelfth around

Answer 3

Homicide Hank vs Pretty Boy Floyd. Don't you just love the nicknames in boxing?
I'm going against the grain here; taking into account Armstrong's experience as compared to Floyd's comparative handful of fights, I'm picking Mayweather. He's that good. Best counterpuncher I have EVER seen.

Answer 4

Gotta go with Hank! Floyd would have to move and box for 15 rounds and Armstrong was relentless and threw a lot of punches and he was a good puncher. Floyd would probably win the early rounds but Hammerin' Hank's pressure and power would catch up with him and stop Floyd in round 11 of a good battle.

Answer 5

Without a doubt..... Henry Armstrong.... of his victories, 101 came by way of KO.... not only was he a three division champion, he was the ONLY male boxer to hold three titles in three different weight classes AT THESAME TIME... he swarmed fighters, continually punching and punching and punching... he would overpower Mayweather and eventually overwhelm him, stopping Floyd by the 8th round.

Answer 6

floyd would have out boxed armstrong for the first five or six rounds,but then henrys workrate would have got to him,alowing him to take the last six.floyd would have probaly been dropped in the later rounds due to the pace armstrong would set.if it was a fifteen rounder id swing more in armstrongs faver,but over twelve id pick armstrong buy split decision.

Answer 7

I'm going with armstrong on that one...armstrong was a three division champ I believe....and that was before the junior divisions and such.... imagine how many belts he could have collected!

Answer 8

its hard to think at this but i think that henry was a lot better than floyd..
