    Evander did beat Tyson, Moorer, Rahman(decent), Bowe, old Holmes, old Foreman to name a few. Maybe a little overrated but Evander has beaten pretty good opposition.

        c'mon dude you really wanna go down this path? Pac is awesome but i think you underestimate what Armstrong achieved

        he's the greatest pressure fighter ever, bar none

        his resume is STACKED... and btw Mr._Pink I think he actually beat Garcia once and drew with him once

            he is.

            he's great and i give him props for doing so well at heavy considering he was a cruiserweight but still.

            people talk about his resume like it's so great or something. it was very good but come on.

              oh he's great definitely but people overrate him still. which is normal.

              he was very fan-friendly. i didn't like him though.

                And yes, I think Henry Armstrong would beat Mayweather to



                From watching that video, I see Armstrong to be slower, no footwork, goes forward with his head exposed, no defense at all.

                I think he is over-rated, Pac and even PBF, JMM can beat him. Funny, but he fights very similar to Hatton, but doesn`t clinch though.

                    he beat ceferino at welterweight. ceferino then won the middleweight belt afterwards and henry challenged him for it.

                    i thought ceferino won that fight? was it draw? either way ceferino kept his belt and henry didn't win a middleweight title.

                    let me refresh my memory. i'll look it up.
