    Pick practically any fight from the latter half of Henry Armstrong's career.

    Leonard was ancient when they fought and was coming off of a very long layoff.:rofl

    I'm not sure that DLH really had much of a size advantage. DLH was much more experienced at 147, 11th fight there compared to the 3rd for Mosley, but Mosley was really big at 135, and actually was heavier than DLH on the night of the fight.

    Mayweather on the other hand, I'm guessing he was outweighed around 10-12 lbs on fight night by DLH, and wasn't really big in the lower divisions like Shane was.

    Basillio beating Robinson, Ketchel ko over O'Brian, Micky Walker taking on heavy's like Sharkey and geting a few wins. I think his fight with Sharkey was draw.

    Henry Armstrong, holding 3 titles at same time, moving up to almost take 4th tile, at time when there were only 8 titles is amazing.
