    I don't like Leonard one bit, but he wins.

    Leonard was a true welterweight and Armstrong wasn't. The Ali-style of boxing was largely unknown and might not have been acceptable to the fans in Armstrong's day. So, I think Leonard's size, power, foot and hand speed, and Ali style would be too much for Armstrong. Leonard would bust Henry up pretty bad as he tried to come in. I love Armstrong and am not especially fond of Leonard, but I try to face facts.

    Leonard brutalizes Armstrong and stops him.
