    Too many things to consider to compare. how would Armstrong have done in modern boxing? would he have his 100 knockouts with modern gloves? Would he have fought as many times?

    I'm not saying Pac is on Armstrong's level but modern vs classic boxing just cant be compared.

      there was no catchwieghts, there was no bull****, he just beat the crap out of everyone.

      150-20-8 (101 ko's)

      almost all his losses coming when he was past his prime,
      he fought to long.
      Great point there.

          what?????????

          henry armstrong never went up in wieght, he was always around 138, 140ish, but was beatin MW and welters,

          record for WW defences: 14 times

          resume: Mike Belloise (FW champ), Benny Bass (ATG), Chalky Wright (ATG), Barney Ross (ATG), Lou Ambers (LW champ, ATG), Ceferino Garcia (he beat garcia befor he became MW champ, the rematch was for the title, which was a draw), Paul Junior (158-14), Lew Jenkins, Jackie Burke, Fritzie Zivic (ATG), Tippy Larkin, Sammy Angott, Willie Joyce,

          and many more, i love how he beat the future MW champ, but in the rematch for the title, it was a draw, i dont see pac fighting MW's

            Henry Armstrong DID fight at catchweights at least once or twice in his career, for the record.

            So even back then catchweights were around and Armstrong wasn't immune of being involved in them either.

              Thank you this should be the end of the thread
              Armstrong >>>>>>>>> Pacquiao

                    He got robbed in the 4th title fight according to most people. He would be the lineal champ in 7 divisions theres no comparisons
