    Henry Armstrong fought BUMS!!! Pacquiao is greater than Armstrong!!!

    A sample of Henry Armstrong's opponents during his prime 1937-1939 (the years he won the 3 titles in 3 weight divisions):

    Tony Chavez 39-15-19
    Joe Marciente 40-52-17
    Eddie Brink 23-18-11
    Orville Drouillard 24-27-12
    Lew Massey 65-32-8
    Johnny Cabello 16-8-4
    Charley Burns 34-13-6
    Johnny DeFoe 23-17-9
    Bobby Dean 37-16-5
    Joey Brown 16-13-19
    Johnny Jones 0-2-0
    Frankie Castillo 24-15-4
    Bobby Pacho 71-45-13
    Howard Scott 55-38-8

    Armstrong fought these fighters right around the time he won the featherweight, welterweight, and lightweight titles. Some of them multiple times.

    Stop comparing Armstrong to Pacquiao. Manny is clearly superior. Armstrong's fights were literally exhibitions against bums.

    He beat Barney Ross at a catchweight of 142 lbs. for the "welterweight" title of the world.

    all the old school greats fought fighters with 15,20,30 losses. the boxing golden age is the greatest scam in the history of the sport. these oldschool geezers want to act like these guys fought undefeated prime all time greats night in night out when its quite the opposite.

    add the fact that the mob fixed fights on a regular basis, black fighters robbed on a regular basis, black fighters not given title shots, referees judging who won a fight,

    the 40s,50s, & 60s, so called golden era is the crooked tainted era.

    Have you seen henry armstrong fights on youtube?

    dude was a glorified version of david diaz.


    dont get me started on harry greb.

      Everything has changed since old boxing era, better conditioning, better nutrition and more. Boxing had progressed, Pac is better than Armstrong.

            Great Post...I agree wayyyy too much corruption and shadyness in the sport. Could you imagine Ray Leonard fighting guys with 10+ losses in his prime...lol or Mayweather & Pac feasting on guys with more losses & draws than KO's?
