I agree, though I feel you can't tell with Armstrong and punchers. He does smother beautifully in bringing his pressure.
1. Roberto Duran 2. Joe Gans 3. Henry Armstrong 4. Pernell Whitaker 5. Ike Williams 6. Aaron Pryor 7. Benny Leonard 8. Carlos Ortiz 9. Julio Cesar Chavez 10. Tony Canzoneri
You just need to invent a time machine and inject Charlie with some GH, Test, EPO for a few months to turn him into a 190lb beast while also improving his speed and stamina. Roided Burley batters the Rock
Making Burley faster would actually work against him, as it would become imposisble for judges to see his punches.
Oh and by the way... 1. Roberto Duran 2. Benny Leonard 3. Ike Williams 4. Barney Ross 5. Carlos Ortiz 6. Joe Gans 7. Henry Armstrong 8. Pernell Whitaker 9. Tony Canzoneri 10. Ken Buchanan
Maybe, they can't have been a million miles from squaring off either. Common Opponents: Joyce: Past Prime HA goes 1-1, IE loses the series Angott: Past Prime HA get clear win, IW gets 2 disputed wins and a TKO loss Beau Jack: past prime HA loses, IW gets 3 wins including a TKO Theres not much in it and Armstrong is past prime, ofcourse styles make fights and it largely depends who backs up who, chin, defense and workrate BASED ON THIS THOUGH ARMSTRONG SHOULD BE ABOVE WILLIAMS AT LW
You may make him so fast that they will be faster than time itself, his punches will actually be the time machine you so need BTW his speed wasnt really his best attribute mate
A fight between the two at any stage of reality wouldn't have been too telling. '38 Armstrong against '48 Williams would be great though. A lightweight equivalent of Louis-Frazier if ever there was one. But why should Armstrong be above Williams?
