In one corner stands "The Old Master" - the pioneer of scientific boxing, armed with clinical timing, lethal counter-punching, and legendary knockout precision. In the other, "Homicide Hank" - a perpetual-motion buzzsaw who held three world titles simultaneously and attacked with non-stop, smothering volume.


Two all-time lightweight immortals. Can Gans time and neutralize one of the greatest engines in boxing history, or does Armstrong’s pressure drown him over the championship distance? Drop your pick and analysis below!

I think this is an extremely tricky one myself, for various reasons.

But once again, it's apparently seen as a landslide across social media. Indeed, almost every fantasy match-up to date has been fairly one-sided in the polls, with the closest one being Duran-Crawford closely followed by Greb-Calzaghe.

I honestly thought most of these would be much closer to 50-50 than they've been, which has me anxious to get the ball rolling with the first video on Saddler-Sanchez. The data coming in on these has been very interesting so far.
