    My god a lot of punches would get thrown in this one. Love both of them but I'll take Hank!

    I'd go with Pryor. He had more speed, unlike Armstrong threw in combination and had stamina to match Armstrong with. He also used the jab to set his work up. So he should outbox Armstrong.

    Awesome fight, Hammerin' Hank ends up forcing Pryor back and after 7/8 vicious rounds, Pryor is beaten into submission.

    Pryor may be the quicker guy, and may throw more, but in a brawl you tend to favour the guy with the better chin, and Hank had decent pop around 140 too.

    Armstrong's just in a different league. Late stoppage for him.

    Pryor wins, probably by KO after a war of a fight

    That is a very good post, his chin was better than Pryor's.

    I would not be surprised if Pryor took this one, a very close matchup.
