Pacquiao vs Armstrong who wins.

That said, Armstrong was extremely well conditioned

With what is said why not put into account if Armstrong was in this era with the advantages in conditioning, nutrition, speed, and strength. With those advancements would he not has those natural advantages he had and the advancement he would have now!

There is film of some of Armstong's fights, and I have watched it. He was very good. He was always on the attack and threw lots of punches almost non stop. He had good power and took punches well. He was fast and a good puncher. He would swarm his opponents and threw more hooks than straight punches. He would be a very hard fight for any fighter his weight and most fans would enjoy watching the film of his fights.

Out of 200 pro fights, the man only lost twice by KO and 100 of those 20 he ended by KO. Armstrong style would frustrate Pacquiao...

Actually this part of your post is incorrect. Armstrong's aggressive come forward style would actually suit Pacquiao. However I feel that that Armstrong is good enough to win despite that. But it would actually be a damn close and very entertaining fight.

This assuming armstrong gets the benefit of modern nutrition btw.

Armstrong may be a great cyclist, but why would he want to even fight Pacquiao?

[Sugar Adam Ali]

Not sure if armstrong ever fought a guy as quick with foot and hand speed as manny...

Speed is a great advantage to have


I still think Armstrong could find a way to win, but i think manny is clearly a "type" of fighter that hank has never seen before, so i cant be 100% certain he wins...

Pacquiao struggled badly with the rough housing of Sanchez. Seriously, Hank would probably put Manny to sleep

Pacquiao and Armstrong were a similar size and weight in their prime.

Both attacking fighters with bundles of energy, power and speed.

Pacquiao's advantages in footwork and technical skills might have edged it for him.

Would have gone the distance in a 15 round fight, but Pacquiao takes a close decision for me in a truly epic fight.

Advancements in nutrition and training methods, need to be taken into account

On equal nutritional terms in the same era with the same styles??? I'd pick Armstrong. Numerous fighters with far less skill and talent than Armstrong has defeated or ko'ed PAC. I like Manny but that needs to be taken into consideration. This would be an intriguing matchup for the ages.

You also have to remember you could hit alot harder with Armstrong's gloves too. Lighter zero foam.
