    I think he'd have beaten Hamed bloody, lost a close 15 rounder to Duran, lost a UD to Leonard, and been KO'd by G-Man.

    Armstrong by brutal one-sided KO.

    Armstrong comes on strong down the stretch and beats him on points IMO.

    Leonard can possibly outflurry and outmaneuver him to a decision win.

    This might be biting off more than he could chew, but you never can tell with Armstrong. I don't believe McClellan was necessarily better than Garcia, but he was much taller and naturally bigger.
