    Sorry if this one's been done before (or atleast recently).

    Let's say at 140lbs.

    Thoughts?

    I think Armstrong would outwork to a decision and by a comfortable margin.

    This would be even better to make at 130, where both men were at their peaks, and among the best ever at that weight.

    Either way, I'll take Armstrong by split decision, with his tireless attack, superior infighting skill, and iron chin combining to give him the edge.

    Floyd will have nowhere to run against this guy. Hank will wear him out with his unrelenting attack. Armstrong by comfortable UD or late round TKO.

    PBF by UD..Armstrong had a rep for losing to fighters with defensive styles and low ko ratios(Lou Ambers) to take note.ppl see 100+ wins and assume he fought p4p when majority were cans with 100-50 type records.Arms had early loses in his career in which floyd did not.Talent today and technique has improved vastly.He'd have to train in todays standards and then we have to assume he could adapt to a foot work tactician like Floyd.

    I think Armstrong would win a close one but I also think his face would be a bloody mess at the end.

    His fights with Ambers were like toe to toe war and he lost that fight becuase he threw like 5 low blows and even then it was seen as a robbery. The fight is on the net I thought Armstrong won by a wide margin, have you seen the fight?

    At least now we know we don't need to take your opinion seriously in the future.

    Floyd would win a close decision.

    No he didn't, he had a rep for shutting down and pounding his way through defensive styles - Ross, Ambers (both fights), Wright, Roderick, Angott, Belloise, Larkin, etc., etc.

    Armstrong dominated that fight IMO. He pounded Ambers even worse than in their first fight.

    Armstrong was the victim of two blatantly fixed results in his career, this one and the Garcia draw. Imagine if he had been allowed to retain his lightweight title, or if he had won the middleweight title.

    I rank Floyd higher than most but I gotta go with Armstrong in this one.
    Hank wasnt that easy to hit, he threw every punch in the book & he stayed on you like glue at his best.

    I think Armstrong might take a close decision, Floyd likes rest patches to think & annalyse but I dont see him getting much space in this one.
