    Canzoneri is a great shout. Agree about Armstrong. Greatest pound for pound Fighter ever even if it all happened quite quickly.

    Let me stop you there Mark. In 1938 there were 8 World Champions. Armstrong was 3 of them spanning a stone and a half. Robinson was great for longer but Armstrong is the greatest pound for pound Fighter there has ever been.

    I don`t think it`s moving up in weight and winning titles that`s impressive, I believe it depends on who you beat at those weights to win those titles, and it`s a complex arguement.

    If we're still talking about Armstrong then two of those three title winning victories were against legit all-time greats in Barney Ross and Lou Ambers. He proved his greatness by any measure you want to throw at it.

    That was Fenech going for a title in his 4th weight class, he was already an undefeated 3 division champion. Should have been an undefeated 4 division champion already if the judges scored it properly.

    It's close between Fitzsimmons and Armstrong, for mine.

    Canzoneri beat ATG fighters in;
    Ambers
    Petrolle
    Mclarnin
    Berg
    Chocolate
    If you want to put this to the test make a poll.We both know you won't!

    WTF! Why am I engaging with a fool who believes Artur Grigorian is a great fighter and that Laszlo Papp is an ATG p4p?
    You should have been smothered at birth!lol

    Make a poll asking whether Billy Petrolle was a great fighter on that same poll ask whether Papp and Grigorian were, and see who gets the most votes.
    Are you denying Hawaii is a state of the USA , North America?
    YEs or No?

    Lets look at these statements.
    "Ambers was not at his best"
    Berg
    McLarnin
    Petrolle
    "Were half decent"
    They were great fighters, you are an imbecile!
    Ambers was 45-1-5 in his next fight a couple of months later he beat Fritzie Zivic!

    "Chocolate was blown and washed up when Canzoneri beat him"
    Chocolate was 21 years old,he would have a further 84 fights over the next 7 years , winning70 of them and capturing 4 versions of world titles along the way !
