ARMSTRONG - W 151 (KO's 100) TF 182 - W pct 83% - KO pct 55% - wins over Jenkins, Ross, Ambers and Masey -KO'ed by Zivic - #2 ranked fighter
Only man to hold 3 titles simultaneously - 126, 135 and 147
PRYOR - W 39 (KO's 35) TF 40 - W pct 98% - KO pct 88% - wins over Arguello[2], Cervantes, D. Johnson and L. Blackmore - KO'ed by B. Young - #35 ranked fighter
He should be ranked in the 100 greatest as a puncher
Drugs probably cost him greatness as a fighter
Normally Armstrong's experience would make this a mis-match. One of boxing's axioms (a good little man against a good big man) is at play here, a Feather wt going against a bigger man a Lt Welter wt. Armstrong pulls out all his boxing tricks to stave off a KO but lose a close split decision to Pryor in this bout.

This would be a great fight I,\ve read a lot about Armstrong but I,ve only seen a few video clips of him I can,t bet against a man that Sugar Ray Leonard would not fight the only guy Ray would not fight even with the public waned Pryor by knock out round 13

Pryor's iron chin would handle anything Armstrong could throw. I'm biased because I've never seen a complete fight of Armstrong's. I truly see Pryor knocking Armstrong out in round 12 of a brutal give and take fight.

Aaron Pryor wins if he fights like he fought Alexis Arquelio

What an awesome question. Who knows my heart goes with Henry Armstrong but they were both fierce competitors. Henry with a close decision in an all out war.

Armstrong would beat Pryor into submission.

I think was Pryor was stronger. Hit harder. I like Prypr here, and Hammerin Henry remains an absolute icon!!!! Pryor was slightly bigger. One hell of a fight, no doubt!!!

armstrong. this is a 90% answer,yeaterdays fighers are better that todays fighters why? they had more fights nobody babysited them, they trained harder and there was less drugs,their bodies were more pure and natural. so you can answer 90% of your own answers,i just gave you the formula.
