    Armstrong whips him and its ugly, but then Floyd would never fight him.

    His form against Maidana was nothing close to against Mosley and Marquez. And he beat Castillo widely in the rematch sans injuries. Castillo was bigger than Armstrong.

    Why give Floyd the advantages ?

    15 rounds, 1935 rules. Armstrong savages Floyd at 147.

    I didn't read the post because it looked like a bunch of rambling nonsense.

    7-0 compared to 14-7. It's a one sentence answer. I'll take 7-0.

    Oscar, Cotto, Mosley, Pac, Marquez, Gatti, Canelo. And Corrales, Genero, and Hatton may eventually get in.

    It's ok, you're just an idiot who wants to play it cool when he gets cornered in a debate.
    I'd take Barney Ross, Lou Ambers, Petey Sarron, Baby Arizmenzi and Fritzie Zivic any day of the week and twice on sundays . 2 losses to arizmendi, 2 losses to Zivic and 1 loss to Robinson while not in your prime in any of them is not something to be ashamed of. Claiming you beat a shot Arturo Gatti to prove your greatness is.

    Lol at the thought of Floyd losing to Arizmeni and Zivic, nevermind the loses you skipped (see:intellectual dishonesty).

    Gotta love seeing you talk about intellectual dishonesty, you apparently saw one cool word in the dictionary and now you say it to everyone.

    What about you mate ? You claim I skipped losses for convenience, you skipped an entire post which literally posted stats in Armstrong's favor you later actually ASKED FOR when I said that the HoF is not the be end and all, which I posted anyway just for you to cherrypick it out of the entire post. Never did I say Zivic and Arizmendi would beat Floyd as you suggest, and Henry losing to them while not in his prime while also still having wins against them anyway doesn't help your case. You've exposed yourself as a hypocrite.

    Bottom line is you compared resumes to prove Floyd's supposed H2H superiority. I proved otherwise to the point where the comparison is silly in the post you skipped, only your delusional Floyd loving mind thinks otherwise.

    You can't cherry pick the Castillo rematch and ignore the first fight. This entire discussion all you've done is cherry pick. First the maidana fight can't be used since that wasn't prime Floyd, now you want to ignore the Castillo fight.

    A 38 year old Mosley timed Floyd with a sledgehammer right hand and made Floyd hold on for dear life. What's the excuse this time? Is Armstrong slower than a past his prime Mosley too?

    Armstrong was smaller and less powerful than Mosley, whom Floyd dominated.

    It's odd that you cherry pick Castillo, a fight he won. Perhaps you should cherry pick some of Armstrong's draws against questionable opponents, let alone his loses.

    Seven wins is better than seven loses, chief.

    Is that all you have to say at this point ? Hilairious

    14 >7 in HoF
    65 > 27 in top 10 rated opponents
    39 > 27 in top 3 opponents
    19 consecutive defenses in a single weight division in 2 years> 19 defenses spread in different weight classes with multiple breaks across

    Those are the stats. Floyd would have packed several more losses than he did if he fought in Armstrong's place. Henry may have lost more, but he won way more to compensate when he actually hit his prime. It's a completely one sided comparison
