    i love armstrong he could do it all but i see oscar out boxing him and sticking and moving all night and henery cant connect solidly. ill take oscar in a grueling marathon while he gets on his bicycle for the win. how do you others see it?

    Armstrong would get to him late when Oscar tires like he always does and stops him.

    A bit unrealistic but I´d still go with Armstrong by close decision.

    whats unrealistic about oscar being in tremendous shape. heck hes had to have been in great shape before hes been a world champion for gods sake. are you trying to say hes a lew jenckins type?out and about all night and day partying all the time then jumping into the ring. by the way i am a great fan of jenkins a true drunk who could hit like a mule.

    I think Delahoya's size/speed/strength would see him keep Armstrong off him and outbox him. Delahoya usually does really well against come forward fighters, except for Mosley, but he did well against him in the rematch

    Nothing unrealistic about DLH beeing in great shape. What is unrealistic is that he won´t get tired. He always get´s tired and slows down in the late rounds. And he wouldn´t against Armstrong who would set a pace like Oscar never has seen? Really?

    I like Oscar to box and build a lead on the cards, but in the end Henry's aggression will be a little too much for him. I like Armstrong's workrate to prevail in the later rounds. Armstrong by UD.
