    Just a heads up but Henry Hank and Henry Armstrong are two completely different fighters.

    vs. Benn - I'd favor Hank to withstand Benn's early onslaught and then take him by mid or late stoppage. Out of all the fights, this is probably the one I would most heavily favor Hank.

    vs. Eubank - Tough to call, possibly Eubank eeks out a close/disputed decision, given his versatility and knack for pulling out decisions.

    vs. McClellan - I'd lean toward Hank, based on McClellan's disregard for defense.

    vs. Collins - I'd favor Collins with his versatility, resilience, and workrate.

    vs. Calzaghe - Bad style matchup for Hank IMO. Calzaghe too fast, too versatile, and especially too busy, plus an awkward southpaw to boot. Out of all the fights, this is the one that I would most heavily bet against Hank.

    Look at his fight with Dick Tiger on Youtube, that should say it all.
