    I disagree. Technology and science has made todays athletes a lot more better trained than athletes of the past. Todays methods are complex and specialized. Stronger? maybe for some, but definitely up par.

    Man, I know it's fun to discuss, but hey, you asked for opinions, you'll get different view from everyone.

    The thread starter asked who has the better legacy. You choose whether it's Pac or Armstrong then why.

    Now if you bash everyone who pick Pac, call them a ****** or something, then why didn't any of you guys just say "hey, don't even compare them, it's a stupid question" in the first place.

    Armstrong would gas by the 5th round and Pac will ko Hank by the 7th. Hank won't be able to throw his usaul 5 punches per round vs Pacman.

    It IS a stupid question. Armstrong's legacy is clearly miles over Pac's. Most of the filthy cretins voting Manny over Henry probably never even heard of Henry Armstrong before this thread.

    Resume and Legacy, its most definitely Armstrong. Pac has still got more to do to even approach him in the All time P4P rankings.

    However, H2H I'd like to hear from the people who pick Armstrong HOW he would win stylewise. You guys ridicule people who pick Pac but you yourselves never explain your picks. All I see was "Armstong beats him at any weight". If your so confident, then please explain to us "less knowledgeable fans" how he'd win.

    Interesting how you say Henry would gas out....LoL
    The guy was known For having Incredible Stamina, He Had a slower then normal heart beat which let him Throw volumes of punches without gassing out, If Pac Wins this fight it wont be because Henry Gasses out

    How does Pacquiao **** blood for a month? Didn't steward or merchant say Armstrong wasn't a power puncher?

    the fighters who'll make you **** blood the most are the ones with average-good punching power, but punches in bunches, has great workrate and stamina and does great body work.

    Not the one punch KO machines.

    I think the reason they literally **** blood tinted urine after the fight, is because of the damage their kidneys have received from the 30+minutes of body blows.

    By power puncher I don't really mean KO machine. Not everyone is a KO machine. Chavez comes to mind as the perfect example with some of the qualities you just mentioned. Workrate, Stamina, & great body work. Armstrong was a fighter like that?

    40-40 Pac now is definitely an ATG here in ESB.

    Usually you can't compare any modern fighters with the ranks of Armstrong, Robinson, Leonard, Ali.. But now the votes are tie. What if he beat mayweather and mosley?
