DURAN vs. HENRY ARMSTRONG AS LTWT/WELT. AND HOW DOES IT END?

Duran wins. He's bigger, quicker and better technically, but he has massive trouble with Armstrong's strength, toughness and workrate.

Armstrong was much dirtier.

 

At their best weights I'd take Armstrong. Without any confidence, but I'm just more impressed by his work (and it says a lot).

 

I've always liked Duran over Armstrong. Reason being unlike the vast majority of his opponents, Armstrong wouldn't be able to manhandle Duran.
Duran may not have been as good as Armstrong in close, but if any fighter was ever close to him it's Duran.
Duran had better power, better quickness, and could fight behind the jab better, and defensively better. (Though most underrstimate Armstrong s defensive capabilities, he was excellent at smothering opponents offensive attacks)
A fight that could be held in a phone booth, I like Durans overall abilities better. And if Duran's fought Armstrong the way he fought DeJesus in their 3rd fight, where he was much more controlled and scientific. The fight may not be as close as we may think.

 

Duran is a complete fighter. Armstrong only knows pressure. Duran just too well rounded to lose to the one dimensional Armstrong
