    I keep hearing similarities with Henry Armstrong and his "perpetual motion." Who are some other similar fighters stylistically?

    Other than the fact they both throw a lot of punches, I agree wholeheartedly.

    Pac is more like a lesser Khaokor Galaxy.

    Many people say that Aaron Pryor was pretty similar to Pac, mainly because of his all out offensive style.
    I personally feel that Fighting Harada had a style that reminds me most of Pacquiao.

    Armstrong was a full on swarmer, Pacquiao is what I would just call a fighter, not to discredit him, just talking styles

    There's NO similarity to Armstrong, other then they fought in many weight classes.
