ALI BEAT ALL OF THEM PLUS 7 OTHER WORLD CHAMPS. HOW COULD ANYONE LOGICALLY CONCLUDE AND SAY WITH A STRAIGHT FACE THAT MARCIANO COULD BEAT ALI.

I would take Armstrong by a slim margin decision. On first glance I thought Armstrong all the way but upon seeing that Saddler knocked Willie Pep out 3 times I would have a little more respect for this guy. Pep was a great fighter.

hi Brent F! yet another great boxing question guy! Saddler beat Willie Pep thrice in his occupation and grew to become into an quite tough fighter. Armstrong on the different handheld 3 titles on the comparable time which i stumble on spectacular. Armstrong grew to become into all action and nonstop fighter and that i think he would have went after Saddler and have been given the extra constructive of many toe to toe exchanges and gained a determination.

It depends how dirty Saddler would get, but I think Armstrong would stay to his game and outbox him.
