    I'm not sure I'd directly favor anyone against him at Feather or Lightweight (save maybe Duran), although there'd be a few with pretty good shots. At Welterweight it gets harder, as he'd be undersized compared to all of the top Welters he'd be pitted against. It's tough to see him beating someone like Basilio, for example, just based on physicality.

    Basilio, i don't know, I hear you, but Armstrong is going to be landing a lot of punches there.

    El B, who do you take, Armstrong-Basilio 8 rounds.

    haha, i should have known this one was coming...

    agree with el, at feather and light it's tricky. lightweight i would favour duran but whitaker and benny leonard would have to be near even money. williams to could very well do the trick. ted lewis is a live underdog

    welterweight guys like robinson, ted lewis (again), napoles and leonard (yes ray leonard...) could take the win and i'd certainly favour robinson. agreed that bigger and stronger guys like basilio could take him
