Would Henry Armstrong hold 3 championships at the same time today?

[Jim Jeffries]

**** good question

wow umm


im honestly not sure

he would overwhelm john and marquez

him and margs would be a classic, classic battle... two workhorses with great chins and stamina slugging it out..i think armstrong could do it..but it would be very hard..i dont know if you can go toe to toe with marg and win but if anyone could..it would be henry

i reckon he could beat pavlik, just stay on his chest and dont let him find his range

ok im tentatively going to say yes he could do it.. but thats four very good fighters...

Do you seriously think a 5'5" Armstrong, who was 140lbs on fight night, could beat 6'2", 170lb fight night Pavlik? Seriously?

As for the thread, John and Marquez, but not Margarito, who would just be too big, outweighing him by about 20 lbs and with serious height and reach advantages.

[Chups]

Probably, from what I read, he got screwed out of the MW championship title by a bogus draw.

Oh please STFU. And put up the link.

love to give an opinion but i refrain from commenting on fighters that i have not watched live nor fought in my lifetime

yes, pavlik is a basic, basic fighter


henry would overwhelm him with activity and win a decision, pavlik cant inside fight for **** man, he is a long range one two machine and would have trouble with henry

and he could beat margs too

John would rob Armstrong blind in Indonesia. Now, If Armstrong wins but doesn't knock Marquez out at superfeather and Marquez keeps the fight close; Marquez would pester Armstrong with rematch calls, insisting he was robbed, possibly delaying his jump to Middle for a year or so. If Armstrong gets past Marquez, Arum wouldn't let Armstrong fight Margarito, NEVER. So the answer is a "no".

[AztecWanker]

absolutely not. armstrong was GREAT for his day, but he aint doing that today. thats like saying George Mikan outrebounding Shaquille O'Neal, or Bob Cousy crossing over Allen Iverson, times they are a changing.

I think he could have beaten Margarito, but he could definetly lose to him and it would be close. Armstrong had just of a good of chin as Margarito imo and his workrate was better and he was faster.

I think Margarito would definietly have him moments, but Armstrong's upperbody movement and body attack would give him the edge.

I think Marquez is a pretty competitive fight too, but he might stop Marquez in the later rounds.

with all the weight cutting in modern boxing......

would it be more fair for armstrong if you say bantamweight , featherweight , lightweight?

he was only 5'5.

[Tysonisgod]

He could prob make it up to cruiserweight lol

the problem with this thread is, not enough people know or have seen henry armstrong fight, and will just ASSUME that he couldnt hang with the fighters of today...

I've seen Henry Armstrong fight, and he wouldnt beat Margarito or Marquez. He was nothing more than a brawler who outworked his opponents on sheer volume end determination.

That **** wont work with Margarito, and JMM is good enough to outbox him imo. Hank wasnt a big puncher.
